Upon first use PMA.start will prompt you to create a user account. This account is used to provide security and as a means to contact all PMA.start users to inform them about important product updates. The account details simultaneously gives PMA.start users access to a My Pathomation account. The same user login credentials will also work for My Pathomation and give you access to a free plan with 10GB storage. If a PMA.start user already has a My Pathomation account their existing account credentials of My Pathomation will also work in PMA.start. If a PMA.start user does not have a My Pathomation account upon their first opening of PMA.start they will need to create an account. For creating a My Pathomation account please use this https://my.pathomation.com/register. For more details on how to use My Pathomation we refer to the My Pathomation wiki page https://docs.pathomation.com/my/doku.php
