3 What is a User Name? A User Name is also referred to as: Log On Name User ID Email name Account name And others For the purposed of this presentation, User Name will be that part of your email address before the @ sign. kleind123@gmail.com

4 Steps For Choosing A User Name Your User Name must be unique This means that no two people at Gmail have identical user names.. If your first choice of a user name is already taken by another Gmail user, have a second, and third name ready to try during account setup. Choose wisely. Once your account is set up you cannot change your username. Next

5 Steps For Choosing A User Name Your User Name should be easy to type. Your User Name should be easy for you and others to remember. Consider that your User Name is one of the first things others will know about you. What sort of message do you wish to send? loverboy@gmail.com? hotmama@gmail.com? newbie@gmail.com? Next

6 Steps For Choosing A User Name Restrictions Some names are "reserved". The following cannot be used as usernames: names of existing users titles of certain pages on this site, such as Google Mail, User, Logon, etc. etc. User names cannot consist entirely of digits User names cannot begin with space or underscore User names cannot contain any of these characters: | [ ] Next

7 Choose a User Name User Names are not case sensitive. They can contain upper and or lower case letters. With Gmail it does not make any difference Remember, the letter “O” and the number zero “0” can be confusing in an email address.. Do it: Write down a couple of user names that you want to try when you set up your new Gmail account

8 Choose a Password Remember: You want to keep your password “secret”. Do not share it with anyone. YOU must remember your password. To a limited extent, Gmail may be able to help you “remember” your password, but they cannot “see” your password. Your Gmail password IS CASE SENSITIVE!! Your Gmail password must be at least eight (8) characters in length. Your Gmail password should be a combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

9 Choose a Password Do it!! Write down a password with at least eight (8) characters. It should be easy for you to remember.
