Lightroom sharing albums without creating an account

Hi, is there a way that I can share a link or an album to my clients without having them create a lightroom account? 

Correct answer JohanElzenga
Yes, rather than "inviting" them by typing their email address, tap the clipboard next to the link at the top and then Mail and write them a message. As long as the gallery is set to "anyone can view" then they'll just be able to visit the link without signing in. The signing in bit is for private invitations.
 
Update 09/15/2025: Anonymous visitors can visit the album, but recently Adobe removed the option for them to comment or to like. To comment or like an image you must log in.

Not anymore. Last LR update makes logging/creating to Adobe account mandatory if client wants to make a comment ok like.

@Vlad B  Try this link (as a client without an account).  I have set the option to allow comments.

https://adobe.ly/2LcgALI

I see the [Activity] icon- allows comments-

   

Let us know what you find.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

In incognito window it ask to login as you can see. 
I use that sharing and have (had) feedback from client for years. Please try to open you link in incognito window.
