Can I create multiple Galaxy accounts?


The account registration form and activation email include a terms of service statement.

  • You ARE NOT allowed to create more than 1 account per Galaxy server.
  • You ARE allowed to have accounts on different servers.

For example, you are allowed to have 1 account on Galaxy US, and another account on Galaxy EU, but never 2 accounts on the same Galaxy.

WARNING: Having multiple accounts is a violation of the terms of service, and may result in deletion of your accounts.

Other tips:

  • Forgot your password? You can request a reset link in on the login page.
  • If you want to associate your account with a different email address, you can do so under User -> Preferences in the top menu bar.
  • To start over with a new account, delete your existing account(s) first before creating your new account. This can be done in User -> Preferences menu in the top bar.
