Screen by screen : register and login
The registration and login on the site are pretty much as you will find them all around the Internet. It is based on your user id and password, and the computer can remember you for your next visit. When you don't remember your password, you can recover it via e-mail by answering a security question. The video tutorial below shows how easy it is to create a free account and start collecting points for solving or creating questions.

Hello again world!
I'm still Bert and in this video I'm going to show you how to join the about2findout.com quiz site and how to logon.From the home page, there are a couple of links you can click to logon. For example here in the middle, or in the quick navigation bar at the bottom of the home page. But let's take the link in the top frame of the screen that says 'login', that should do the job, don't
you think?
The logon page is like any other you will find on the Internet, just type in your user id and password and hit the button. Unless you type in the wrong credentials, you'll be logged in. Since we don't have a profile yet, let's create a new one via the link "Not a member yet? join for free.".
Joining is a short, five step process. It starts by typing in the code you see on the image. This prevents robots from automatically registering fake accounts. We want real flesh and blood people inside! If you have visual disabilities, you can click the speaker button to hear the code out loud. Click next. Second step is to agree with the code of conduct. Basically, we want you to be a good boy or girl. Don't cheat, don't misrepresent yourself, don't be rude. Just be your own likeable self. Click the box to agree and click next. Third step is to select a login name. It has to be 5 characters long at least. If someone else already took the name, you will be warned about that. We advise you to register under your real name.
Fourth step is the most important one. Fill in the form with your password and e-mail. The security answer and password is something only you know and is only used to recover your password. When you forget your password, it can be sent to you via email if you answer the security question correctly. Hit next.
Step 5. We are done. Now we can login and edit our profile. On the login screen, type in your user id and password. I'm also going to check the box to remember me so the next time I go to the site it will remember me and automatically log me on.
Once you are logged in, the top bar on the screen will show your name, and clicking on it
will take you to your profile.
That concludes the overview of joining and logging on.
And remember: about2findout gets better with you inside, so join!
