How do you obtain a username and password?

Answer 1

There are a variety of processes through which this can be done. The most common is registering, where the future users themselves provide their account details. This is the most common method on public access computers, such as websites.

The second method is to request an account from someone authorized to do so, or have one issued to you when you join an organization. This is the method most common for private computers and restricted access systems, such as in a business, university, or the military.

The third method is to have a precreated username and password and obtain it from a public pool, such as by purchasing a card or certificate from a store.
