## Linked social accounts

Do Donate allows you to connect a Google or Facebook account for quicker sign-in. To manage your linked accounts:

1. Go to **Account Settings** and select the **Linked Accounts** tab.
2. Click **Connect** next to the social platform you want to link, or **Disconnect** to remove an existing connection.

Disconnecting a social account does not delete your Do Donate account. If you use a social login as your only sign-in method, you will be prompted to set a password before disconnecting.
