Signing up for the first time

Mia: I want to start using this app — do I just download it?

Tom: You'll need to create an account first, then you're good to go.

Mia: Right, it's asking me to pick a user name and a password.

Tom: Choose something you'll remember, and don't reuse an old password.

Trouble getting in

Mia: It won't let me log in — it keeps saying my password's wrong.

Tom: Are you sure you're using the right account? Try resetting it.

Mia: There we go, I'm in. Turns out I'd been typing the old one — works fine now.

Tom: Happens to everyone. At least you're sorted now.
