👐 Create your account
To use MongoDB Atlas, you will need to start by creating an account. If you already have an account, you can skip this step.
Sign up for MongoDB Atlas
Start by going to the MongoDB website and creating your account.
Creating a MongoDB Atlas account is free and does not require a credit card.
You will be greeted by a form similar to the one below.

If you are doing this lab at an event, you should use the same email address you used to register for the event.
Complete the form and click the "Create Your Atlas Account" button.
Verify your email address
You will receive an email from MongoDB asking you to verify your email address. Click the link in the email to verify your email address.

If you haven't received the email within two minutes, check your spam folder.
Finish the onboarding
You will be redirected to the MongoDB Atlas onboarding wizard. Fill in the form and click "Finish" to continue.
