Before you start using Launchpad, you need to set up a Launchpad account.

Here are some of the things you might want to do when you first join Launchpad:

• [:YourAccount/NewAccount:Create and personalise your account]

• [:YourAccount/Branding:Brand your account]

• [:YourAccount/ImportingYourPGPKey:Import an OpenPGP key]

• [:YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair:Import your SSH keys]

• [:YourAccount/Karma:Learn about Launchpad karma]

Once you've been using Launchpad for a while, you may want to:

• [:YourAccount/Merging:Merge two accounts]

• [:YourAccount/ChangingYourPassword:Change your password]

And we'd hate to see you leave but, if you need to, you can also [:YourAccount/ClosingYourAccount:close your account].
