Step 5: Choose a password that you can remember and reenter the password.

Step 6: Choose a security question and an answer that you can remember. This is so that you can prove who you are if you ever forget your username or password.

Step 7: Type in a recovery email. This is a second email address that google gmail can email you at if you ever loose or forget your username or password.

Step 8: Type in your birthday. You can use a fake birthday if you are uncomfortable with putting in your real birthday. Google just needs to know that you are old enough to legally have an email account.

Step 9: Fill in the captcha. That is the goofy little letters. You have to do this to prove that you are a human being.
