How do you make a non-educator account?

[Bobinny]

I had to sign up for hopscotch using a teacher account. How do I not do that?

[Dragongirl1264]

The default is a regular account, is this a school device?

[Bobinny]

No, it only lets me make a teacher account, while a controlled device would let me make a student account.

[Dragongirl1264]

Is this the same device as your main account?

[DaughterOfHecate]

I believe you have to pay for a subscription to make a regular account ;^; @anon68560021 how did your friends do it?

[Bobinny]

Yeah, it’s the same device

[Tri-Angle]

sadly, you can’t switch between teacher and student (regular) account

[Bobinny]

Oh. But I think that’s ok, since I don’t notice any difference other than students in my class

@Bobinny
The only deference is there’s an extra button saying my class
This is basically a second published projects button

Don’t worry I have a teacher account also

[Tri-Angle]

same here :)

We went thru the web explorer

[Bobinny]

And the good thing is, if you were to make a alt or a collab account, you could add it as a student to access them all!

[Dragongirl1264]

You could try deleting hs and reinstalling it, but I think it would reset some seed purchases

[Henry]

It not reset

[894]

Yep I have the my class button too!

[Bobinny]

I think this should be closed but let it stay in the category

[rAyyy]

this is old, but I figured out how

[moocow]

boop, @Pumpkin clive

[Tri-Angle]

imo, this topic is still useful :)

Now we have updated the flow when you’re logged out, so you don’t have to create an educator account anymore — you can create a regular account. (This is after version 3.57.0)

We’re still experimenting & planning to make changes to the flow in upcoming updates, to make it easier to create an account.
