Creating a Scratch account

Enter the following Scratch address in the web browser: http://scratch.mit.edu We click Join Scratch on the top bar (join the Scratch community). A registration window opens, in the first step we fill in three boxes: I.Choose a Scratch Username – enter the desired username (not your first or last name, preferably a nickname). When we get to the second box if the name we have typed is already in use by another user, we will be informed that this username already exists (Sorry, that username already exists!). II.Choose a password – we enter the password, the system tells us to remember it and not disclose it to anyone (Remember it – don’t tell anyone else). III.Confirm password – we enter the password again. If the entries are not the same, a message appears telling us that the passwords do not match (Your passwords do not match). We should then enter the password again.
