Before you start using Launchpad, you need to set up a Launchpad account.
Here are some of the things you can do with your Launchpad account:
[: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]
[: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].
