*Using your Epinions ID as your username will allow you to use certain gadgets that keep track of your reviews.
**Your password can be whatever you want it to be and does not need to be your Epinions account password. Whatever password you choose will be stored in our database in an MD5 hash which is impossible to decrypt so we can never access your password even if you lose it and want to retrieve it. If you do happen to lose your password we can allow you to reset it, but we will never be able to view it. If you still feel uncomfortable about signing up with one of your normal passwords, try using a new random password.
