# AfterPack accounts

What an AfterPack account is for, what lives on your personal account page, and where the workspace, key, usage and billing docs are.

Run [`npx afterpack@latest`](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/cli) with no account for protected output, nothing to sign up for or metered. An account adds a **[Pro key](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/dashboard/api-keys)** to use [the cloud engine](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/deployment-modes), and a **[dashboard](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/dashboard)** showing what that key has done. Registration is free: **10 MB of cloud Pro builds a month**, no card. A one-time [$5 Extra MB pack](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/tiers) adds 20 MB that never expires, for capacity without a subscription.

## Your account page

`/dash/account` holds settings that belong to your personal account, separate from any [workspace](https://www.afterpack.dev/docs/dashboard/workspaces):

- **Name and email.** Changing your email requires confirming a link sent to the new address.
- **Google Sign-In.** Connect or disconnect it. Both methods reach the same account.
- **Language** for the dashboard.
- **Delete your account.** Permanent, confirmed by typing your email. Cancel any workspace with a live subscription first.
