Phew! Done it! I'd been a bit scared of a complex signing process in German (which I do not speak). But following the instructions in English provided in the link above it was actually easy. I did make sure I set aside a generous chunk of time to do it, and had a pen and paper to hand as it helps my foggy brain to make notes on instructions.

 

[Joh]

Thank you so much to everybody who has already signed (and spent precious energy and time on the signing process)!

I finally got around to signing. What I did was use 2 screens, both my phone and PC, so that I could have the instructions in English open to follow the instructions required.

Fingers crossed they reach the target.

The instructions for signing are now available in four languages. Thank you to the pwME who did the translations.

Also thank you to everybody who signs and shares the petition.

And thank you @Joh for your efforts to publicise the petition. I really hope the petition reaches the 50,000 target.

Almost missed this one. Done.

Thanks to whoever wrote the instructions.

Won't accept my password - suggestions?

I went for a password with a mix of upper and lower case, more than 8 letters and avoided special characters as I thought that might be what those instructions meant. That worked.

Edit - I used a number as well

Won't accept my password - suggestions?

My partner encountered the same problem and going by posts on Twitter, this happens quite often.

The IT team of the petition website advised by email to use a different browser and also to try using a password of 15 characters or less (but more than 7).
This did not solve the problem for my partner.

She succeeded eventually, using a password of 15 characters and restricting her choice of special characters to those provided by the website as 'examples' of special characters (_#@*+?!-$).
Her hunch (unconfirmed) was that those examples of special characters are actually the only special characters allowed for password creation on that website.

Good luck and many thanks for keeping at it!


So in summary, try using:
- 8 to 15 characters
- at least 1 uppercase letter
- at least 1 lowercase letter
- at least 1 number or 1 special character
- if using special characters, use one of these: _#@*+?!-$
