Headstart2 Sign Up Issues
Hello,
As a disclaimer, I am not a military official, nor do I have any affiliation with the US military. I'm simply a teenager with an interest in learning languages.
I discovered the https://hs2.dliflc.edu/ resource online many months ago, and began using it to learn Russian (I stopped for a while because it's hard, but things are hard sometimes, and what better way to learn a language than by the world's strongest military?), and I came back to find that they had developed a system to store login information so you can learn across browsers and devices. Great! (Especially great for me as I once deleted all my progress accidentally by resetting my browser.) So, I try to sign up under the new system. Whenever I try to make an account, it tells me that:
"Your password must be between 12 and 50 characters long and include at least two uppercase letters, two lowercase letters, and two numbers. Please try again with a valid password."
Which does not make sense, as I've created a password with all of the above requirements. I have also tried changing the password and adding and deleting characters and nothing has changed. I checked to see if maybe the system already had an account with my email, it did not.
I tried using a different email, and that did not work. I attempted also to sign up using a different browser. This, likewise, did not help. My only thoughts are that maybe this is a glitch in the new system or that they're trying to keep civilians from using the service by locking it down according to IP addresses or email domains. I have not tried using the local downloaded version, but I would much prefer to use the online edition. I assume that most on this subreddit are military or military affiliated personnel. Is this also an issue with your devices, email addresses, and locations, or is this a glitch unique to me? I have not tried using a different device altogether, but I will after posting this and edit with an update.
Thank you.
