Say what an account actually is
Say what an account is, and why a site asks you to make one.
An account is a drawer a company keeps for you. Your orders, settings and messages live inside it.
The password is the key. The drawer sits on their computers, so it opens wherever you sign in.
Key points
- An account is a drawer a company keeps for you, opened by your password
- It follows you to any device you sign in on
What to remember
- The drawer sits on their computers, not on your machine.
- An account belongs to the company, not to the device you are using.
Try this
