πŸ‘€ How to create your Any.do account

Your Any.do account profile is where you manage all settings, personal preferences, and private information such as your name and email. The profile is linked to an email address, not a mobile number or specific device, and can be created directly or using third-party services like Google, Apple, and Facebook. Note that your profile can only be linked to one email address.

Users have various options to create an account for maximum convenience and security. The method you use to create your account will also be used to log in, although you can switch to the standard email option by resetting your password.

Note: Your Any.do account's profile can only be associated with a single email address.
