# Sign in to Your Account

You must sign in using your LF account credentials to access the Linux Foundation's tools. If you already have an LF account, use your credentials to sign in. If you just [created a new account](/lfx/sso/create-an-account.md), follow these steps:

1. Enter your SSO account credentials on the Sign-In window and click **SIGN IN**.

2. The Single Sign-On service allows users to authenticate with social and external authentication providers instead of a username and a password.
3. When using an external authentication provider, you will be prompted to create a username if you don't have an existing one.
4. If you create your LF account by signing in with an external authentication provider, the Linux Foundation will map your LF account to the external login.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/sso/sign-in.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
