The English > Spanish translation of account on Google Translate comes up with various forms of the word cuenta.

However, the Spanish > English translation of cuenta returns words relating to financial transactions.

The word I want refers to account information that you might find on a website, such as username and password.

For example: Google account, Facebook account, Twitter account, etc.

Si, no te preocupes. Se dice cuenta.

En inglés, tambien se usa "account" para decir una cuenta de usuario y una cuenta de banco. Es lo mismo en español.

Otra forma de usar "cuenta" en español es "darse cuenta' = to realize (literally: to give account).

Por ejemplo:

"no me di cuenta" = "I didn't realize"
