As you type your password, Google will tell you whether your password is weak or strong

You can choose either a suggested Security Question or you can write your own question(s)



Select the question you would like to use by putting your mouse pointer over the suggested Security question and then clicking the mouse button

the “Create My Account” button


If your application is rejected like this example, don’t worry. This often happens on the first attempt. Yahoo will highlight, in red writing, the parts which need to be corrected

The verification characters are sometimes hard to recognise. They are meant to be difficult to recognise for security reasons. Don’t worry, just try typing them again.

Note: the verification characters will change upon every re-try.
