Joining Pinterest without Facebook or Twitter

If you are already signed in to your Facebook or Twitter account, Pinterest allows you to sign up for a new Pinterest account using your existing social networks. Using a Facebook or Twitter account to sign-up for a Pinterest account makes the entire account creation process simpler as it reduces the overhead of providing your email address, and then going through tedious verification processes.

You can also use your email address (without Facebook or Twitter) to join Pinterest. By doing so, you remain independent from your Facebook or Twitter account, and if you close/deactivate your associated social networking profile, you can still continue using your Pinterest account normally.

Joining Pinterest using your email address is as simple as creating a new account on any other portal/forum. Here’s how:

■Open your favorite web browser. (E.g. Google chrome in this demonstration)
■Type the https/www.pinterest.com/login/ URL in the address bar, and press Enter to go to the Pinterest Log In page.
■On the Log In to Pinterest popup box, click the Sign up now link from the bottom.



■Once the Sign up for Pinterest popup box that opens up, click the Sign up with Email button.



■On the Sign up with Email popup box, populate the fields with the correct values.
Note: You can use any email address that you want to use to join Pinterest (E.g. peterfrank0101@gmail.com in this demonstration)
■Finally click the Sign up button located at the bottom to sign up for your new Pinterest account.
