How do I create a Pie account, and can I use the extensions without an account?

You can use the Pie Adblock extension without an account, but you will not be able to cash in on rewards:

• Account Creation: You can sign up on the Pie.org website or within the extension after you install it. You’ll typically provide an email address, create a password, and confirm your account.
• Using Without an Account: You can still use Pie to block ads even if you’re not logged in. However, to earn rewards (for seeing ads with Pie Adblock or Pie Shopping cash back), you must be signed into your Pie account so Pie can track and credit your points correctly.
