Creating an Account Continued
Fill in Account information which includes:
- Username: Choose a username you would like to have your e-mail addressed to. You can use your name, birthdate, favorite hobby, number of children or grandchildren, or any combination of items. Some usernames may already be taken so it is important to be more unique. For example, instead of grandma@hotmail.com you could use grandmamoses@hotmail.com. It may take a few tries before you create a name that is not in use.
- Password:
Make the password something you can remember.
An address, birthdate, hobby, color, or object that you will remember work well. - Secret Question: If you forget your password, you will be asked the secret question of your choice.
- Secret Answer: Select a question you will always know the answer to.
- Registration Check: Type in the letters and/or numbers you see in the box. This step prevents companies from e-mailing unwanted solicitations to hotmail account holders.
- Agree to Terms of Service: Agree to follow the terms of service by clicking on the box.
After clicking on the "I Agree" button, you will be taken to the next screen.
