  • U-verse® TV, AT&T Internet, AT&T Phone, or DSL 
  • DIRECTV bundled with wireless or AT&T Internet

You can use 1 ID to manage multiple AT&T accounts and services. Find out how to add more accounts to your ID.

After creating your ID

Password tips

  • Make your password strong and secure by following our AT&T password requirements.

  • Secondary online access is for someone whose name isn’t on the bill. They can co-manage the account online.
  • Your user ID may have primary access to some accounts and secondary access to others. Learn how to manage online access for your ID or accounts.

Wireless customers

  • Sync your phone with a compatible wearable using NumberSync for wearables.1
