Yes. You register with your email address and a password of your choice. If you have a choice of email addresses, it's always best for security reasons to use a personal email address rather than a shared address or an address that may be reassigned to someone else (such as labhead@university.edu). And as with all passwords, you should choose something that won't be easy for others to guess, so please avoid using any form of your name or a family member's name, a pet's name, your birth date, social security number, etc.

A verification email will be sent to your email address. Click on the URL (or paste it into your browser) to verify the email address. This ensures that no else who knows your email address can use it to register with the system. It also ensures that the address is a valid one, and doesn't contain any typos.

Click on the URL in the email (or paste it into your browser) to verify the email address that you registered with. That will complete the second step of the registration process, and the final step will be to enter your contact information when prompted.

At the sign-in page, select Enter the Personal Information Area and then sign in with your old email address. Modify your primary email address and then choose the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen. A test email message will be sent to the new address, which will contain a URL. Click on the URL (or paste it into your browser) to verify the email address. Once you have done this the new email address will take effect. All correspondence generated by the system will be sent to the new address. You will also be able to sign in using that address, with the same password you have been using.

Or, while you're in the system, select the Personal Info tab from the top of the screen, edit your information and click on Save Changes.

At the sign-in page or from any author or reviewer screen within the system, enter the Personal Information Area. The Change your password link is located on the navigation bar at the top of the page. Enter your existing password, then what you would like your password to be. You will receive an email confirmation of this change.

On the sign-in page, locate the I have forgotten my password link. Enter the email address you used to register with the system, and you will be presented with a security question. Once you answer this question correctly, you will be sent a new password via email.

When you choose your password, it's encrypted and no one else has access to it, not even the journal or Bench>Press staff. But as with all passwords, you should choose something that won't be easy for others to guess, so try to avoid using any form of your name or a family member's name, a pet's name, your birth date, social security number, etc. And please remember that you shouldn't share your password with anyone.

When you choose your password you are also asked to answer a security question; if you forget your password, you must correctly answer the security question to receive a new password. The new password will be sent to your email address, so you will also have an email record of the change.

Please make sure that you have entered the right email address and password, and that you have spelled both correctly. Please note that passwords are case-sensitive. If necessary, you can request a new password. On the sign-in page, locate the I have forgotten my password link. Enter the email address you used to register with the system, and you will be presented with a security question. Once you answer this question correctly, you will be sent a new password via email.

--If you have recently changed your email address in the system, please sign in once with the 'Remember Me' box unchecked. This will unset the old cookie, and from then on you can sign in with your new address and check the 'Remember Me' checkbox.
--It may be that you are using a program on your computer that automatically deletes cookies. Two such programs for the Macintosh are "Cookie Cutter" and "WebFree." You will need to create an exception to use the online submission system.
--The date is set incorrectly on your computer. This confuses our cookies (they have expiration dates), so please check to see that your date is set accurately.
Your browser is an old version that does not support cookies. You will need to upgrade it.
