Well, this is embarrassing. In the mad push to get things out before we leave for GenCon, the lack of sleep caught up to me in a nasty way. I got myself confused and managed to spell out the WRONG instructions for creating new Early Access accounts.
Sorry!!!!
When creating your Early Access account, you can specify whatever password you want. The email address you provide during account creation must match the one you specified on the questionnaire, but the password can be almost anything. The only stipulation on the password is that it meet the minimum complexity requirements we've established.
Please accept my profuse apologies for this screw-up and all the confusion that has ensued. Hopefully, getting access to the Early Access release before GenCon will be worth the few hours of anguish between the release and this clarification update.
Thanks, Rob
