Adding Account Information

An account contains a username and password that enables the user to sign in to Pearson websites and content applications.

To add account information:

Under Account Information, do one of the following to specify the user's username:
- In the Username box, enter a unique user identifier that is from 1 to 120 ASCII characters. The username can include blank spaces and is not case-sensitive. If the username already exists, it might belong to another user or the account might be a duplicate.
- To make the user's primary email address the username, click the Same as primary email address check box. RADmin automatically adds the email address to the Username box. When this check box is selected and you change the primary email address or username, RADmin automatically updates the value in the other field.
In the Password box, enter the password associated with the username.
- Password requirements differ, but the password generally must be from 8 to 32 ASCII characters long with at least one letter and one number or special character. The password is case-sensitive and cannot contain blank spaces or the username, first name, or last name.
- If you are editing an existing account and want the user to reset the password, click Prompt the user for a new password at the next login. When the Reset Password confirmation message appears, click OK to continue. Once you specify that the user must reset the password, it cannot be undone.
Note: The password appears as you type it. After you create the account, the password appears as a series of asterisks (for example, ******) for security purposes.
