# Creating Account

### OAuth Authentication

Threat Center supports Github, Gitlab and Bitbucket SCM Authentication, and Google.

OAuth SCM is the recommended authentication mechanism for Threat Center. It offers numerous advantages including:

* More secure than Standard Authentication
* Automatic account creation
* No need to remember your username/password
* Immediate access to your repositories for scanning
* Ability to log in, access all of your repositories, and run scans across Github, Gitlab, and Bitbucket from within a single Threat Center account.

### Standard Authentication

Standard username/password authentication allows users access to Threat Center without using our recommended OAuth authentication option 

User the link below to create an account using standard authentication.

From the Invite User screen, you'll have the option to copy the invite URL or to have it sent separately. (slack sounds like a good idea), or fill in a comma-delimited list of email addresses for the users you want to invite. The URL link may be used by multiple users to activate their account.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Invited users will be assigned to the same Entity (Business Unit) as the party who sent the invite. The entity may be changed by a user with the appropriate permissions, from within the [User Administration](/administration/add-users.md) screen.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
