| | 12 | 1. Your [wiki:faq/email/openpgp OpenPGP] key ensures that all members can communicate via private and authenticated email. |
| | 13 | 1. [https://monkeysphere.info Monkeysphere]: converting your OpenPGP key into an ssh-enabled key allows us to grant you ssh access to servers easily and with a convenient method to revoke access if your key is compromised. |
| | 14 | 1. May First/People Link accounts via the [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp members control panel] |
| | 15 | 1. Create a membership: Creating your identity under your own membership allows you to continue with your identity even if you no longer provide system admin support |
| | 16 | 1. Pick a user account to login to the control panel: this user account can be granted admin access - so you can access all accounts in the control panel. This password is the most sensitive - it should only be used for logging into the control panel. You might pick a username with a -cp suffix to it, like jamie-cp. |
| | 17 | 1. Pick a user account as your public identity: via OpenID, you can re-use a single user account when logging into support.mayfirst.org or im.mayfirst.org and other services. Be sure to pick a good user account name and don't change it - since it will be public. |
