Chances are that you’re here because you are trying to connect Jetpack and you’ve been asked to create or log into a WordPress.com account.
A WordPress.com account is required so that Jetpack can provide your site with free security services, traffic tools, faster content delivery, and multiple site management.
You only need one account for all our services (including VaultPress, Akismet, Polldaddy, Gravatar, and WordPress.com itself) so if you already use any of these services you already have a WordPress.com account which you can use for Jetpack.
Where can I find my WordPress.com account information?
- If you think you have an account with us but you can’t remember the details, try resetting your password.
- If you don’t yet an account, no worries – you can create one for free in a few minutes.
Why should I connect Jetpack?
Jetpack provides a number of essential services that improve your WordPress site. The most popular are:
- Site security (protection from brute force login attacks and uptime monitoring),
- Stats and analytics about your traffic,
- A free CDN (Photon) that automatically speeds up all your images and photos, and
- Tools like Related Posts, Publicize, and Sharing buttons that get you more visitors.
You’ll also gain access to a central dashboard on WordPress.com where you can manage all your WordPress sites whenever you want to, on any device. This includes:
- Automatic updates and bulk plugin management,
- Access to a brand new (and faster!) editor,
- Manage and see stats, menus, and other site options from a central place,
- Use your site on the official WordPress mobile and desktop apps.
Does it cost anything?
A WordPress.com account is free and so is Jetpack. We offer paid upgrades for off-site backups, spam filtering, and security scanning but these are completely optional. You can read our fascinating terms of service to learn more.
