# Customer account

This feature enhances the shopping experience by enabling faster checkouts, as stored account information is automatically filled during the checkout process.

### If you want to show the account icon, check the following steps:

1. From your **Shopify Admin >** go to **Settings** **> Customer accounts.**
2. In Login links **>** Enable **Show login link in the header of online store and at checkout.**

3. Select which version of customer accounts to link to:

* **Customer accounts** is the newest version of customer accounts, and lets your customers log in using a one-time 6-digit verification code sent by email. A password isn't required to log in.
* **Legacy** lets your customers log in using an email and a password.

Customers can log in using an email and a password. Customers accept account invites or create a new account from the login page. Customers can edit the name associated with the shipping address, which doesn't change the customer profile name in your admin.
