## Sign in to Docker Desktop
After you’ve successfully installed and started Docker Desktop, we recommend that you authenticate using the **Sign in/Create ID** option from the Docker menu.
Authenticated users get a higher pull rate limit compared to anonymous users. For example, if you are authenticated, you get 200 pulls per 6 hour period, compared to 100 pulls per 6 hour period per IP address for anonymous users. For more information, see [Download rate limit](../docker-hub/download-rate-limit.md).
