Which account should I use to log in?

If you're already using LINE, you can use your existing LINE account to log in. If you don't want to use your personal LINE account, you can use your work email address to create a business account. However, if you log in with a business account, there may be some limitations to the available features.

Once two-factor authentication is executed, the browser used to log in won't require two-factor authentication again for one year.

Account relationships

You need a developer account to use the LINE Developers Console. In addition, a developer account is always linked to a business account on a one-to-one basis.

A developer account and a LINE account are linked through a business account. When you link your LINE account to your business account that is linked to your developer account, you can link your LINE account to your developer account.

The developer account you created when you started using the LINE Developers Console is also linked to a business account, regardless of the type of the account used when you logged in the first time. The relationship between the type of an account used for the first login and the connection to the developer account is as follows:

Type of account	Linked state	LINE account to be linked	Business account to be linked
LINE account	Business account isn't linked	LINE account used for login	A new business account will be created and linked to the developer account (*)
	Business account is linked	LINE account used for login	Business account that is linked to the LINE account
Business account	LINE account isn't linked	None	Business account used for login
	LINE account linked	LINE account already linked to the business account	Business account used for log in

* The new business account will be linked to the LINE account used for the first login. The email address and password will be left unset and can be set at any time later.

Note on linking your developer account to your business account

• If you delete the business account linked with your developer account, you will no longer be able to log in to your developer account
• A business account linked with a developer account can't be changed later

About the email address for each account

The name and email address registered for your developer account, business account, and LINE account are managed separately. Therefore, the email addresses registered to each account may be different.
