Note: If click Create Account and you see the message: "The password you entered appears in a list of known compromised credentials, aka hacking list. Please use a different password." The password you've entered is on a list of easily cracked or commonly used passwords. Adding some special characters, numbers or an additional word will correct this.
Once you have filled in all of the required account information, click on the green Create My Account button at the bottom of the page.
