How it's used
Refers specifically to digital identities or login credentials rather than bank account numbers. While 戶口 is the standard term for a bank account, 賬號 is almost exclusively used for online platforms, social media, or email services. It is common to hear people use the English word account directly in casual speech instead of this term.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 戶口, which is the preferred term for financial or bank accounts. Using 賬號 for a bank account can sound slightly unnatural or overly tech focused.
