Creating an account

Avatar

You can sign up for Wattpad using your Facebook account, Google account, or with your email address, but every account requires a valid email address. Please note, your email is how we communicate with you if you experience any issues. We recommend not using your school email address, as that will disappear and be inaccessible once you graduate. 

You will also need to provide your birthday, but this will not be visible to other users. To read more about what other users can see, check out our article on Account privacy.

Once your account is set up, we ask that you verify the email address that is linked to your account.

If you create a story, please note that it's not possible to transfer it to another account. 

If your email address is not accepted when you sign up, it's likely you already have a Wattpad account, and you can try to reset your password. For more information, please see the article Resetting or changing your password. If you are having trouble signing up with a Gmail account that contains dots in the body of the email, please try signing up with them removed (ie. example.user@gmail.com becomes exampleuser@gmail.com). For more information, please see the article Unable to log in with Gmail address.
