# Your MeatStick account

## Do you even need one?

Cooking with just your phone and a Stick over Bluetooth? You can do that without an account. **To connect a WiFi base, you need a MeatStick account:** the V Smart Base, V Duo Smart Base and V Forge WiFi Hub (and so MeatStick Blow) link to your account when you connect them to WiFi, so the app asks you to sign in or create one during setup. An account also unlocks the **cloud features**: your cook history syncs across your devices, and you can **check a cook from anywhere** over the internet — including when you use a second device (WiFi Link) to relay a cook up to the Cloud. See Monitoring your cook over WiFi.

## Create an account or sign in

Use whichever is easiest:

* **Email** — enter your email, name, and a password.
* **Google** or **Facebook** — one tap, no separate password to remember.

Trouble getting in? See I'm having trouble logging in.

## Forgot your password?

On the login screen, tap the **forgot password** link and we'll email you a reset link. (Signed up with Google or Facebook? Use that same button to get back in — there's no separate MeatStick password.)

## Sign out or switch accounts

**Menu → Settings → Account → Sign out.** Sign back in with any account.

## Delete your account

**Menu → Settings → Account → Delete account.** This permanently removes your account and the personal information associated with it.

> Just want to stop syncing to the cloud without deleting anything? You don't have to delete your account — turn **Cloud** off in Settings instead.
