Creating a Leboncoin account, step by step
Open Leboncoin and start with an email
Account creation starts with your email address. Download and open the "Leboncoin" app (free on the App Store or Play Store). Tap "My account", then "Create an account". On the "Let's start with an email" screen, enter your "email address" and continue.
Set your password
Choose a password that meets all the criteria shown. After verifying your email with the code you receive, choose a "password" that meets the criteria shown (at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one number, one special character, and so on), then tap "Next".
Verify your phone number
An SMS code confirms your phone number. Enter your "phone number". Leboncoin sends you a "code by SMS": enter it to confirm your number.
Your account is created
Email and number verified: your Leboncoin account is ready. That's it: your "email and number are verified", and your Leboncoin account is created. Tap "Let's go" to start buying or posting a listing.
