How do I sign up for a Fandom user account?
If you have not already signed up, this is how you do it:

Direct link: https://auth.fandom.com/register

Next, choose an option to register - you can connect using social media (Facebook, Google, Twitch, Apple) or register with an email and password. After signing up with an email, you will be asked to verify your email, so make sure to check your inbox!

How do I set up my viewing experience?
Congratulations on signing up and joining the Fandom community! To make sure you have the best possible viewing experience tailored to your needs, let's visit your user account settings. On Fandom, these are called "Preferences", which is what you will see in the screenshots. Keep in mind for later - settings = preferences, because it's about your preferred settings!

If you are looking to adjust your text size on mobile, you will need to tap "mobile options". This will bring you to the following screen.
