	When registering for an LDS Account, members of the LDS Church are asked to provide their ~~MRN (~~membership record number) and their birth date. Members can obtain ~~this~~ information by asking their ward clerk for their [[Individual Ordinance Summary]]. A member’s MRN can also be found on the back of the temple recommend.

Members can obtain MRN information by asking their ward clerk for their [[Individual Ordinance Summary]]. A member’s MRN can also be found on the back of the temple recommend.

	Account recovery (such as forgotten user names and passwords) is handled through the e-mail address that ~~the customer~~ used ~~to register~~. Although there is not currently a phone number or global support desk available to non-employees, ~~scalable support models for customers who need assistance beyond self~~-~~service capabilities are being investigated~~.		Account recovery (such as forgotten user names and passwords) is handled through the e-mail address that you used when you signed up for an LDS Account. Although there is not currently a phone number or global support desk available to non-employees, you can review the [https://ldsaccount.lds.org/sign-in/go/help.jsf?conversationId=35455 troubleshooting information here] and submit an issue through an [https://ldsaccount.lds.org/sign-in/go/contact.jsf online contact form].

	While anyone can register for an LDS Account, when ~~a member registers~~ using ~~their~~ MRN and birth date, Church applications like ~~lds~~.org can take advantage of LDS Account credentials to determine and grant appropriate access based on ~~their~~ current role (~~e.g.~~ bishop, stake president, etc.). As a ~~member’s role changes, so can the access level~~ of ~~their~~ LDS Account.		While anyone can register for an LDS Account, when you register using your MRN and birth date, Church applications like LDS.org can take advantage of LDS Account credentials to determine and grant appropriate access based on your current role (for example, bishop, stake president, etc.), ward, and location. See [[Church Websites]] for a more complete list of sites that use LDS Account.

	Many Web sites and applications use LDS Account credentials for authentication. Some of these Web sites are internal, but there are now many publicly available sites that use LDS Account, including lds.org, familysearch.org, and LDS Art Competition.
