       Selected from a dropdown menu; only one country can be selected.
     • Membership type — the type of the business that the account is associated with.
       Can be one of the following:
       • Telco — telecommunication company that provides a number of various telecommunications services (e.g., telephony, internet access, etc.) to their end customers.
         If Telco is selected, then its Number of subscribers must also be specified in the dropdown menu that appears.

   WARNING

   Don't use the same password that you use for authorization on any other online application and/or service.

   For a deeper understanding of the password security principles, you may want to read the following topic of the Iroha 2 documentation: Iroha 2 > Security > Password Security.

5. Review the Terms & Conditions (for the latest version, see this repo), then select the corresponding I agree with the Terms and Conditions checkbox.

6. When ready, select Create account.

Upon completing the steps, the Account successfully created notification appears, informing you that your registration application has been successfully submitted and will soon be reviewed by the FIB Administrator.

As soon as your application is approved, you receive an email notifying you that you have become a peer in the FIB network and, depending on the chosen access method, you can access the FIB functionality via Web App and/or API endpoints.

Restoring access to an account ​

If you have forgotten the password on your account, you can reset it by performing the following steps:

1. Go to the Fraud Intelligence Blockchain website and select Forgot password?.
2. On the Forgot password? screen that appears, enter the email address that you registered with in the Your email field, then select Send link.
3. Check your email inbox for a message from FIB with instructions on how to reset your password.
4. Follow instructions from the received email.

Expected Result ​

Once you have reset your password, you can log in to your FIB account using your new password.

4. Check your email inbox for a message from FIB with a link that enables 2FA.
