FAQ
What do I do next with my Flip account?
Do I have to use my UIW email?
Not necessarily, but it is recommended. The Continue with Microsoft login option for Flip syncs with your UIW account and password, so there's no need to create or remember a second password. If you use a personal email or another login option, you'll be responsible for remembering another password.
