To set up a personal account:
- Click the Sign In in the top toolbar of the screen.
- From the Sign In Screen, click the Create a new Account link.
- The Create a New Account Screen appears with Personal Account entered in the Account Type field. Fill in the fields on the Create a New Account Screen. When you have completed the fields, click Save Changes.
When you create a new My EBSCOhost folder account, or are updating the existing password for your account, you are required to create a strong password.As you begin to enter a new value into the password field, the strength indicator will reflect how strong your password is using both color and strength value (red=weak vs. green=strong).
When your password meets the requirements, the indicator displays that your password is strong and you can retype the password in the next field to confirm it.
- If all the information was accepted, a message appears that provides your user name and password. Click OK. You will be automatically logged in as a personal user. You should note the user name and password you created so you can log in at a future session.
If you have forgotten your password, you can submit your user name to retrieve your password.
