Your Account & Lambda ID
How your Lambda ID works, linking your accounts, and the settings, privacy and data options on the website.
Your Lambda ID is the one account you use across Lambda Networks: the website, the forums, events and your in-game progress.
Getting an account
You don't need to sign up. When you first join one of our game servers, a Lambda ID is created for you automatically and linked to your Steam account.
To use it on the website, sign in with the button below.
What Lambda ID looks after
Your email address, password, phone number and security settings, including passkeys, are managed on Lambda ID itself. You can reach them from the Edit Profile page of your account.
Linking your other accounts
In game, type !accounts in chat to open the account linking window. From there you can link Discord and join our Steam group. Joining the Steam group earns a reward, see Steam Group Rewards.
Your account pages
Open your account from your avatar in the top right of the website. It's split into these sections:
| Section | What's there |
|---|---|
| Account | Your overview, profile, settings, privacy and notifications |
| Friends | Your friends, friend requests you've received and sent, and people you've blocked |
| Purchases | Store orders, donations, meetup tickets and your wallet |
| Economy | Your inventory, trade offers and history, market listings and custom content |
Your profile
On Edit Profile you can change your display name, avatar and cover image, and pick a community group to feature on your profile.
Settings
- Region & language: your preferred currency, timezone and language. The website is in English, but your language is used to format dates, times and prices. Timezone and language can both be set automatically.
- Features: opt in to Lambda Labs to try new features early, turn the optional AI features on or off, and turn the seasonal decorations (such as Halloween effects) on or off.
Privacy
Your Privacy page lets you choose who can see each part of your account. Each one can be Public, Friends Only or Private (Just Me):
- Your profile
- Who can comment on your profile
- Your game details
- Your friends list
- Your inventory
Notifications
On Notifications you choose what we notify you about, and how: on the website, by email or on Discord.
Getting a copy of your data
From Settings you can request a data export. We'll prepare a private copy of the data associated with your account and notify you when it's ready to download.
