Hi @Marianah, welcome. Registration on Nextstrain is only required to view private datasets as a member of a private [Nextstrain Group](https://docs.nextstrain.org/en/latest/guides/share/nextstrain-groups.html). Everything else is public and no login is needed. For Groups, registration is currently still a manual process by the Nextstrain team.
