# Accounts

Shopify is deprecating legacy accounts (i.e., theme-based accounts) as of 2026. Due to this reason, Studio Almond now uses customer accounts, which are passwordless, in order to log in.

Brands should be aware that these are generally restricted in terms of customised options, but can expect these to extend over the next few months with Shopify focusing on moving all global stores to this solution.

In order to style your customer accounts, you can navigate to your customizer and then, in the top dropdown, select Customer accounts and checkout. The same style styles your checkout but also styles your accounts, and you are able to preview and select account-based screens by the customizer in this way.
