If you have a Google (Gmail), Facebook or Twitter account, you can click the appropriate button to encrypt your Indian Paintbrush account without entering an additional password.

When you click the Register button, you are notified that a confirmation email has been sent to the mail address you entered. Don't close the window. Instead, sign in to your mailbox and click on the link in the message that was sent to you. You should then get a new window acknowledging your confirmation and prompting you to login in order to complete your personal profile.

Click on Login, enter your email address and password, or select the appropriate service if you used one when you registered. Click on the "Hello Your Name!!..." message on the menu bar to open your profile page and enter the information requested.
