Important: It should go without saying that anytime you are asked to create an account you should ALWAYS:

• Make sure to use a professional username/handle. We recommend the username incorporates your name.
• Be sure to add an appropriate avatar to your profile.

Consider a password manager like enpass or lastpass to manage all of your accounts. (This way you can keep track of your Admin password for MySQL, which I guarantee you will otherwise forget.)
