Now you will need to enter your email address, double check the email address as this is what you will use to login. (I was very surprised to see that they do not ask you to confirm your email address nor do they ask you to click on an email verification this is why it is EXTREMELY important that you double check the email address to make sure it is correct as this is what you will use to login and reset your password if you do forget it.) after you enter your email address, and verified that you entered your email in correctly go ahead and click on ”continue“.

Much like the the previous step they will ask you for you to enter your password, but not ask you to confirm the password as most registration forms require you to do so. In the text box on the right side, you can click on the little eye icon with a line through it to reveal your password. After you have confirmed that you have entered your password incorrectly go ahead and click on “Agree and continue“.
