<title>Add an account</title>
23
<p>Adding an account will help link your online accounts with your GNOME
24
desktop. Thus, your email program, chat program, and other related applications
25
will be set up for you.</p>
28
<item><p>Click the <gui>Plus</gui> symbol in the lower-left
29
portion of the window.</p></item>
30
<item><p>Select your account type from the list.</p>
31
<p>If you have more than one account type, you can add the other
32
accounts at a later time.</p></item>
33
<item><p>Click <gui>Add...</gui></p></item>
34
<item><p>A small website window will open where you can enter your
35
online account credentials. For example, if you are setting up a <em>
36
Google</em> account, enter your <em>Google</em> username and password.</p>
38
<item><p>If you've entered your credentials correctly, you will be prompted
39
to allow GNOME access to your online account. Select <gui>Grant Access</gui>
40
to continue.</p></item>
41
<item><p>Select the applications that you want linked to your online account.
42
For example, if you want to use an online account for chat, but do not want
43
to use an online account for your calendar, turn the <gui>calendar</gui>
44
option off.</p></item>
47
<p>After you have added the accounts, each application that you have selected
48
will automatically use those credentials when you start them.</p>
52
For security reasons, GNOME will not store your password on your computer.
53
Instead, it stores a token that is provided by the online service. If you
54
want to fully revoke the link between your desktop and the online service,
