# Register and login

When Arsenal is launched for the first time or after a reinstall, you need to login into your Arsenal account. \

If you do not have an account already you first need to register. You can create an account by clicking the "Sign Up" text or use your Google ID to login by clicking the Google button.

**Sign up**

To create an account we need a login name and a nickname. These cannot be the same. The nickname is your in-game name, that's visible to all other players.

An email is needed to verify your account. After signing up, an email will be sent with an activation link.

The password needs to be strong. At least 6 characters are needed with one capital letter and a number.

If you received a [referral code](referral-system) you can use this to sign up and receive a sign-up bonus!

Once successfully logged in you will find an overview of your current achievements. From this menu, you can either go to the [Main Menu](the-main-menu-explained) or visit the [clan ](clans)section.
