Creating an account and signing in
What you need
To sign up to Nearby you only need a few details:
- Date of birth: to make sure the platform isn't used by anyone under 14;
- Email;
- Username, also called user name: it can only contain letters, numbers and the characters -, _ and .;
- Password.
Signing up to the platform, creating an account and using it are reserved for people who are at least 14 years old.
The most effective passwords are also the most complex: use upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers and a few symbols.

Subscriptions, payments and enablement requests are managed in the account management centre, which only opens from inside the app: if you open it in the browser, it shows Open from the Nearby app.
With the same account, if it's enabled, you can also access the Workspace from your computer (workspace.nearbycommunity.it) to manage events, places and news: see the Workspace guide.
