Create a Cloudflare account

To create a new Cloudflare account:

1. Sign up ↗ on the Cloudflare dashboard.

2. To secure your account, enable two-factor authentication.

3. If you have a Cloudflare contact (Enterprise only), ask them to set up your account as a multi-user organization. Account members will need:

   • Access permissions to read or edit applications and Access policies.
   • Gateway permissions to read or edit Gateway policies.
   • PII permissions to view user information in Gateway activity logs.

Best practices

If you are creating an account for your team or a business, we recommend choosing an email alias or distribution list for your Email, such as cloudflare@example.com.

This email address is the main point of contact for your Cloudflare billing, usage notifications, and account recovery.
