Template:Creating Your User Account

Creating Your User Account

 * 1) Fill out the request account form.
 * 2) * Note: MediaWiki allows your username to include spaces and punctuation, so feel free to set it to your real name as you would normally style it (e.g. Jesse's username is Jesse B. Crawford).
 * 3) * Note: The biography that you include in your request form will be the contents of your user page (it's a wiki page, specifically about your user account).
 * 4) ** For Judges, Mentors, and Reviewers: it's a good idea to include information about your expertise and experience that you might want teams to know.
 * 5) ** For Students: it does not need to be by any more complicated than telling us what team you are a member of.
 * 6) ** And do not include information you do not want made public.
 * 7) Click on the link in the email account request confirmation message.
 * 8) Wait for an email from an administrator approving your account (usually within 24 hours).
 * 9) Login using your username and the temporary password from the approval email.
 * 10) Change your temporary password to your real password.
 * 11) * Suggestion: Remember, we are all safer if you do not reuse passwords. I use loxodo, a python implementation of Bruce Schneier's Password Safe, to keep strong, unique passwords for all my accounts. --Drew 12:50, 31 December 2011 (MST)
