3. Once you click Sign Up you will have to enter the information from box 1 into box 2 for a security check. Doing this just proves to Facebook that you are indeed a human and not some machine trying to create fake accounts. Click the Sign Up button.

Create Password
• You can create several different accounts using separate email accounts. You may want to do this if you want to have a personal profile and a professional profile.
• You can only use an email account once to create a Facebook account. Multiple profiles can not be attached to one account.
• It's a good idea to set your Privacy Settings (see Lesson 3) before you start adding Friends and joining Networks.
