# Accounts
### Creating Accounts and Groups
Some sites will require an account to place an order. Click **Accounts** in the top navigation bar to go to the accounts page and get started.
To begin, click the blue **Add** icon in the top left corner. This will open a window where you can create an account group and give it a name, as well as the site the account will be used for.
Account groups help keep your accounts organized. For example, you can create separate groups for different addresses, sites, or tasks. Once a group has been created, you can add and manage accounts inside that group.
To add an account to the selected group, click the second blue **Add** icon to the right of the group name at the top of the page. This will open the account creation window for that group.
Here, enter the account information you want the bot to use during checkout. Each account must be entered in the format `email:password`, with an optional proxy added at the end as `email:password:proxy`.
You can enter multiple accounts at once by placing each account on a new line.
Example:
```
example1@gmail.com:password123
example2@gmail.com:password123:192.168.1.25:8000
```
If you add a proxy to an account, that account will always use that proxy during checkout. Once finished, click **Create,** and the accounts will appear in the accounts table.

When creating an account on this page, you are not actually creating an account on the site. You are only adding the account information that Valor will use to log in. The account must already be created on the site before you enter it here.
{% endhint %}
### Account Sessions
On some sites, Valor can log in once and save the session to reuse later for a faster checkout. When a session is saved after running a task, the session status for that account will update.
If you no longer want Valor to use saved sessions, you can click **Clear All Sessions** to remove sessions from all accounts, or click the clear session icon on an individual account row to remove the session for only that account.
### Import/Export
You can also import and export accounts and account groups.
The **Import** and **Export** buttons under the **Account Groups** section are used to import or export multiple account groups at the same time.
The **Import** and **Export** buttons next to the selected account group name at the top of the table are used to import or export accounts for that single group only.

It is important to use the correct buttons for the option you are working with. Using the wrong import or export option may cause your profiles to import incorrectly.
