# Appendix

> Understanding the new user registration process

Neynar simplifies the account creation process on Farcaster by pre-registering several new accounts and securely storing their credentials in a database. For detailed instructions on how to register or create an account on Farcaster, please refer to the [Farcaster account creation guide.](https://docs.farcaster.xyz/developers/guides/accounts/create-account#create-an-account)

When a developer requests a new account—Step 1—Neynar provides the FID (Farcaster ID) of a pre-registered account to the developer.

To transfer the pre-registered account to the end user, a specific process must be followed. This approach is chosen because Neynar does not store or manage the end user's account mnemonic for security reasons.

The developer is required to generate a signature using the FID of the pre-registered account and the custody address of the end user. This can be achieved by utilizing the `signTransfer` method described in the script—Step 2.

Upon making a `POST - /v2/farcaster/user` request, two significant actions are initiated:

1. **Fname Transfer**

   * This step is executed only when the fname is included in the request body. Developers have the option to collect the fname from the user during account creation.
   * If the developer decides not to collect the fname initially, the transfer can be conducted at a later stage. For more information, consult the [guide on fname transfer](https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/fname/api#register-or-transfer-an-fname)

2. **Account transfer**
   * This step outlines the procedure for transferring the account to the end user. Detailed guidance on account transfer can be found in the [Farcaster account transfer documentation.](https://docs.farcaster.xyz/reference/contracts/reference/id-registry#transferfor)
