Can't help you without knowing which theme you are using. Each theme has their own code base.

Hi @SiriusKicks 

The account icon in the header is usually created automatically once you enable Customer Accounts as either Optional or Required, in your Shopify Admin > Settings > Checkout

Here's a Shopify article about this section: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/checkout-settings/customer-accounts

Have you checked if this is set up already?

This setting changed in 2023, and customer accounts are hidden by default on new stores.

Here is the solution:
