Sometimes, you may be able to choose your own username and password. If you are assigned a username or password, make sure to try it out soon to see that it works, and remember exactly how you entered the username or password so you will be able to use it successfully in the future. Requirements for usernames and passwords vary, but keep in mind the suggestions below as you are working with them. Notice if your username and password is or is not case sensitive. Notice the minimum and maximum number of characters allowed.
Most programs have a minimum and maximum number of characters for usernames and passwords.
Check the program you are using to find out what this minimum and maximum are. Be aware that spaces and some characters may not be allowed. Most programs do not allow the use of spaces as part of your username and password. Unless your instructor or the program indicates otherwise, it is usually safe to choose letters, numbers, or combinations of letters and numbers as your username or password. Do not use passwords that are easy to guess.
