The Account service allows you to authenticate and manage a user account. You can use the account service to update user information, retrieve the user sessions across different devices, and fetch the user security logs with his or her recent activity.

Register new user accounts with the Create Account, Create Magic URL session, or Create Phone session endpoint. You can authenticate the user account by using multiple sign-in methods available. Once the user is authenticated, a new session object will be created to allow the user to access his or her private data and settings.

This service also exposes an endpoint to save and read the user preferences as a key-value object. This feature is handy if you want to allow extra customization in your app. Common usage for this feature may include saving the user's preferred locale, timezone, or custom app theme.

https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1

Use this endpoint to allow a new user to register a new account in your project. After the user registration completes successfully, you can use the /account/verfication route to start verifying the user email address. To allow the new user to login to their new account, you need to create a new account session.

If there is already an active session, the new session will be attached to the logged-in account. If there are no active sessions, the server will attempt to look for a user with the same email address as the email received from the OAuth2 provider and attach the new session to the existing user. If no matching user is found - the server will create a new user.
