Example: yourname Once you have typed in a possible name, you can check on the Check username availability link to see if anyone else is using that username. If not, the checker will tell you that it s Password: Note the requirements in the Password box. My favorite special character is an exclamation point; it seems to play nice with the login system. As you type in the box, the strength tester will tell you how strong it is. Examples of strong passwords (but please don t use create one of your own.)
