Registration tips
Username
- To be safe, you should never include your last name as part of your username.
- Also, we recommend that you stick to letters and numbers
- Finally, have fun and try to come up with a username that says something about you.
- We will use your email to activate your account, let you know when you have new friend messages, or when new messages are posted for a group that you have joined.
- If you don’t have an email address, there are lots of places where you can sign up for a free one. Gmail.com, Yahoo.com and Hotmail.com are a few of the more popular free email sites.
Password
- The best passwords are hard for someone else to guess, but easy for you to remember.
- Use both capital letters and small letters,
- Use both letters and numbers,
- Use other characters like a question mark or a dollar sign
Zip-code
- This one is optional! - If you live in the United States and know your zip code, we can use it to help you find Self-Advocacy Organizations close to where you live—but don’t worry, even if you don’t enter your zip code, you will still be able to use our Find Self-Advocates search feature.
