Creating a user account means that you supply us a username (your real name or a nickname) and a password. We will reject a username that is already in use. A user account is created only once. You are then "logged in". The next time you log in, you supply your username again and demonstrate with the password that you are the same person. (Do not share your password with other people; this can allow them to misuse your account, which could lead to it being blocked.)
Creating a user account means that you supply the login page with a correct username and password. The website will reject a login attempt by user who is already logged in elsewhere. If your account is nowhere else being used and your username and password are entered correctly, you will then be "logged in". The next time you log in, you supply your username again and demonstrate with the password that you are the same person. (Do not share your password with other people; this can allow them to misuse your account, which could lead to it being blocked.)
