Creating a profile is easy!
Just go to the login page and click the “Register” link (circled in green in the picture), and follow the steps.
Alternatively, here are the steps in detail:
Step 1: Navigate to the login page.
Step 2: Click the “Register” link (circled in green in the picture).
Step 3: Enter a User ID and your email address on the resulting page.
-
- The user ID can be anything you want it to be. It will not be publicly visible.
- Both the user ID and email address must be unique within this system. If one or the other is already in use, then you will be prompted to enter another.
Step 4: You will receive an email with a link to confirm your email address.
-
- The email is sent immediately, but may take a few minutes to navigate the internet and your email provider’s system.
- Note: you may need to check your spam folder.
Step 5: Click the link, and enter a strong password on the resulting page. The system will suggest a randomly generated strong password for you, but you are free to specify your own password.
Step 6: Now you can log in and manage your profile info!
