MyFans sign-up helper

We never ask for your password, card number, expiry date, security code or ID documents. Type those only on myfans.jp.

Where each value goes

The order below follows MyFans’ own help pages. MyFans can change its screens at any time, so if a step looks different, go by what the screen asks for.

1. 1

   Optional: switch MyFans to English

   MyFans lets you change the display language in 言語設定 (language settings). It warns that a browser’s page translation can cause display and operation problems, so use its own setting instead of Google Translate.

   In English, the screens show English labels. The Japanese words on this page are the ones MyFans’ Japanese help pages use.

2. 2

   Create your account

   Email address

   MyFans’ terms say you register by entering the required details on its registration screen, either as a 主催者 (organiser: the creator side) or a 参加者 (participant: the fan side). As a fan, you want the fan side.

   Paste your email address, then open the verification email and confirm it. MyFans treats an address you haven’t verified as unregistered, so you can’t log in with it yet.

   You can also sign up with X (Twitter). An account made that way has no password, so log in with the X button until you set one.

3. 3

   Verify your mobile number

   Mobile number

   MyFans won’t take any payment until your number is verified. On the 電話番号認証 (phone verification) screen, paste your number and choose SMSで取得 (get by SMS) or 音声通話で取得 (get by voice call).

   Type the 6-digit code you receive and press 認証する (verify). To change your number later, go to アカウント → 設定 → 電話番号認証.

4. 4

   Add your name and date of birth

   Your nameDate of birth

   MyFans requires your name (氏名) and phone number before you can pay. If it asks, paste your name.

   Your name and date of birth are stored together. You can check or change them under アカウント → 設定 → 登録情報 → 本人情報（氏名・生年月日） (personal details: name and date of birth).

5. 5

   Add a card

   Type it yourself on MyFans

   On the お支払方法 (payment method) screen, choose 「カードを追加」 (add card). MyFans lists Visa, Mastercard and JCB.

   Type your card details yourself on that screen. This helper never asks for them.

6. 6

   Join a plan

   Choose the plan you want and check the total before you confirm. Prices are in Japanese yen, MyFans adds a purchase fee, and your card company sets the exchange rate. See MyFans prices and how to read a profile.

What this helper leaves out

We include a field only when MyFans’ own help pages or terms say fans are asked for it.

• PasswordChoose it on myfans.jp. Never type it into any other site, including this one.
• Card number, expiry date and security codeType these only on MyFans’ payment screen.
• Cardholder name and 3-D SecureMyFans’ help centre doesn’t describe the fields on its card form or a 3-D Secure step, so we don’t guess at them. If your bank shows an extra check, it comes from your bank.
• Postal addressMyFans’ help pages for fans don’t list an address among the details you enter. Only its creator registration page asks for one.
• ID documentsMyFans’ help describes ID checks for creators only.
• Katakana nameMyFans’ help doesn’t say a fan’s name must be in Japanese script, so we don’t convert it.
• Username or display nameMyFans’ help gives no rules for fans’ display names, so there’s nothing to convert.
