      How to Create a User Account on Senioridy

      With a user account, you can perform the following tasks:

      1. Add a Provider Listing
      2. Manage a Listing you have added or have claimed (Change info, add/edit images, files, and videos)
      3. Claim an existing Listing
      4. Bookmark Provider Listings so that you can remember which ones you liked, didn't like, visited, or have applied to

      But before you can do any of those things, you must first register for a user account on Senioridy. 

      • Go to the Login page and click the Register Here Link
      • Fill in the form with your accurate information (Full Name, create a username and password, and add your email address). As a tip, you can use your email as your username if that is easier for you to remember.
      • Once you click the Register button a notice will display at the top of the page in green letting you know that your account must be activated.
      • Go to your email (the one you registered with) and click on the link in the Senioridy Account Details email
      • As soon as you click the link, you will be brought to a login page, and you will see a note at the top letting you know that your account has been activated.
      • You now have an active account on Senioridy and can log in with the username and password you created in Step 2 above.

      That's all you have to do to set up a new user account on Senioridy!
