3. Add your full name, email address, and optionally, your phone number. Any information provided when signing up for an account can be changed by signing in and clicking on “My Account” in the top right corner of the page. 

NOTE: 

Your account will expire if you do not use it at least once within two years. If your account expires, you will need to create a new account.

Removing services from my account

Third-party access
