Your "account" is optional. It consists of a valid email address, your name and a couple of preferences to personalize your visits. You will also need to create a password meeting the following requirements:

• is at least 8 characters long
• contains at least 1 uppercase character
• contains at least 1 digit
• contains at least 1 non-alphanumeric character (like a @ or a $)
• contains at least 1 non-repeating (unique) character
• Examples: MyP@ss-1 or M0mmaI<3u

• Once you have run the gauntlet of entering your password twice, click on "Register".
• You'll then get a pop-up asking you to confirm your email. Open your email program and look for a message from registration@tetontroll.com. Check your spam folder if it doesn't appear in your inbox within a minute or two.
• Click the Confirm button in the message. A new window will appear with a thank-you note and button that will take you back to the home page where you can login.
• If you did not receive the confirmation message, check to make sure you entered your email address correctly. You can click on "Login" then "Resend Email Confirmation" to try the process again.

The email password requirement and the confirmation process are basic steps taken to help insure that your address actually exists, and prevent hackers from using automated intrusion programs to access websites containing personal information. You do not need an account to visit the site.
