# Access Accounts in Near

User accounts are used in a variety of contexts in NEAR, including as identifiers and for signing transactions. Once login successfully, you'll be able to access to the `accountId` and `account` instance.  

### Current Account ID

You can get the logged in account ID via the `getAccountId()` method in **Near** chain

```javascript
// For version 1.11.7 and below
const accountId = window.near.getAccountId();

// For version 2.0.0 and above
const accountId = window.sender.near.getAccountId();
```

### Use Account Instance in Near Chain

***\[Work In-Progress]*** You can also get access to the current account, and use its interface directly. The account is an instance of the `account` object in [near-api-js](http://github.com/near/near-api-js) . The usage can be found in the [documentation here](https://docs.near.org/docs/api/naj-quick-reference#account). 

```javascript
const account = window.near.account();
await account.sendMoney(
  "receiver-account.testnet", // receiver account
  "1000000000000000000000000" // amount in yoctoNEAR
);
```
