# Register and join an existing Profile

This page is for users who have received an e-mail stating that their Profile has been created on their behalf, and that they need to log in to manage their Profile and products.

This happens if you:

* previously sold products on the Longwood Loop shop website
* asked a member of the Longwood Loop team for assistance setting up your Profile and products

Did you get an e-mail that invited you to create a Profile, but didn't state that a Profile has been created on your behalf?  Go [here](https://longwood-loop.gitbook.io/guide/profile/register-and-create-a-profile) instead.

**Instructions**

You will receive 3 e-mails.

* One from a member of the Longwood Loop team indicating a Profile has been created on your behalf
* Two from Open Food Network with the following Subject lines
  * Please confirm your OFN account
  * \<name> has invited you to be a manager

Open the e-mail titled 'Please confirm your OFN account' and click the blue link 'Confirm this e-mail address'.

This will open a page in Open Food Network to change your password - because you do not have a password, this is effectively a 'create password' screen.

Once you have created a password, you will be redirected to the main Open Food Network NZ page with a banner at the top confirming your password has been created successfully.

Now your account is created, and you are signed in.  You can [edit your Profile](https://longwood-loop.gitbook.io/guide/profile/managing-your-profile) and [add or manage products](https://longwood-loop.gitbook.io/guide/products).
