# Registering an Email Address for a Google Identity

DNAstack uses Google as the identity provider for [Passport](https://github.com/DNAstack/dnastack-product-docs/blob/main/docs/passport/broken-reference/README.md) authentication. You'll need a Google account to access DNAstack products. If you don't have a Google or Google Workspaces account, you can create one using your existing email address.

**Important Note**\
If your institutional email is currently configured as an alternate email for an existing Google Account, you'll need to remove it before creating a new Google Account with that address.
{% endhint %}

## Registration Steps

1. Visit accounts.google.com
2. Click "Create account" and select "For my personal use"
3. Follow the prompts to the email entry screen
4. Select "Use your existing email"
5. Enter your institutional email address
6. Complete the account creation process

After creation, use your institutional email address to log into [Passport](https://github.com/DNAstack/dnastack-product-docs/blob/main/docs/passport/broken-reference/README.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Once your Google Account is set up, you can use it across all DNAstack products through Passport authentication.
