    Locate and click the "Create Account" button in the top right corner of the page.

  4. Set Up Email Address

    In the Username field, enter the desired email address prefix (e.g., "my-first-email" for my-first-email@yourdomain.com).

  5. Create a Secure Password

    • Enter a strong password in the Password field, or
    • Use the provided password generator for a secure, random password.
