FAQ: How do I sign up for Quizlet?

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Quizlet is a free service and anyone over 13 years old with a valid email address can create an account. Visit http://quizlet.com/sign_up and fill in the required fields – username, password, email address, and birthday. Read and agree to the terms of service and click the “Sign Up” button. A confirmation email will be sent to your email address. Without this email, your account will not be activated, so it is important that you use a valid email address.

It may take time to receive the confirmation email, so be patient. If you do not receive it within 24 hours, please send us a message on our feedback page (http://quizlet.com/feedback).

FAQ: I have not received my confirmation email. What should I do?

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

When you sign up for a Quizlet account, the most important thing is to make sure you use a valid email address. Without a valid email address, you can’t receive the confirmation email that is allows you to log in to the site.

If you have used a valid email address but you still have not received your confirmation email, take the following steps:

1) Wait. It can take up to 24 hours for your confirmation email to be delivered.

2) Check your spam folder or spam filters. Some email addresses have powerful spam blockers that prevent emails from new addresses from getting through without confirmation (this is especially true for school email addresses).

3) If you still haven’t received the email, try signing up again with a new address. It is possible that for whatever reason the email address you originally used is blocking our email or that you may have accidentally typed the wrong address.

4) If none of the above works, use your Facebook account to log in to Quizlet using Facebook Connect.

FAQ: What is Facebook Connect and how does it work?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Facebook Connect is a new feature from Facebook that lets external websites such as Quizlet use Facebook’s login system. Instead of creating a Quizlet account by entering your email address and password, you can just click on “Connect with Facebook” and everything is done automatically.

When you Connect with Facebook on Quizlet for the first time, you are automatically given a Quizlet account that has all the same features as a regular account. It even has some additional features:

  • When you create a set, you can optionally post it to your Facebook mini-feed so that your friends can see your new set.
  • You can see which of your Facebook friends use Quizlet, even the ones who are online now.

Facebook Connect is a secure login mechanism. Quizlet never even sees the username and password you enter. You can verify this yourself by looking at the URL of the popup where you enter your Facebook information; you will see that you are on connect.facebook.com, not quizlet.com.
