# Can I cancel adding an account halfway through?

Yes. Click **Cancel** or close the sheet at any point and the sign-in stops cleanly, leaving no half-added account behind. You'll see *"Authentication canceled — The sign-in was canceled. No account was added."*

You can close the browser tab too. When you're ready, click **Try Again** or start fresh from **Add Account**.
