Picking up where you left off

Now you will start your own ChatGPT account.

Last time you found the front door. Today you walk through it.

Take a breath. This is easier than sending an email.

Signing up for ChatGPT needs only a few real facts. Here is the whole list:

Your emailthe inbox you check most often
A passworda few plain words you can recall

That is almost everything. If a box is not required, you can leave it blank.

One firm rule: never type your password into the chat box. The chat box is where you talk to ChatGPT. Your password is a key, so keep it for the sign-up form only.

If anything worries you about money or your bank, stop and ask a real person you trust.
