# Accounts

Nounspace manages accounts using [Privy.io](https://privy.io). Privy allows users to sign in using many different methods, including web2 standards like email + password, Google SSO, etc. In addition to web2 standard logins, Privy provides a way to manage connections to external wallets.

For all users that sign up using web2 options, Privy manages an embedded wallet under the hood to perform actions like signing.

Once a user signs up, Nounspace uses that user's wallet to create an [Identity](/nounspace-alpha/accounts/identities.md)
