- Creating an Account
- *******************
- If you want to use a particular installation of Bugzilla, first you
- need to create an account. Ask the administrator responsible for your
- installation for the URL you should use to access it. If you're test-
- driving Bugzilla, you can use one of the installations on Landfill.
- The process of creating an account is similar to many other websites.
- 1. On the home page, click the New Account link in the header.
- Enter your email address, then click the "Send" button.
- Note: If the New Account link is not available, this means that
- the administrator of the installation has disabled self-
- registration. Speak to the administrator to find out how to get
- an account.
- 2. Within moments, you should receive an email to the address you
- provided, which contains your login name (generally the same as the
- email address), and a URL to click to confirm your registration.
- 3. Once you confirm your registration, Bugzilla will ask you your
- real name (optional, but recommended) and ask you to choose a
- password. Depending on how your Bugzilla is configured, there may
- be minimum complexity requirements for the password.
- 4. Now all you need to do is to click the Log In link in the header
- or footer, enter your email address and the password you just chose
- into the login form, and click the Log in button.
- You are now logged in. Bugzilla uses cookies to remember you are
- logged in, so, unless you have cookies disabled or your IP address
- changes, you should not have to log in again during your session.
