Create a New Skype Account

Each Skype account has a unique Skype Name with a password. Your Skype Name needs to be between 6 and 30 characters. It can be any combination of letters, numbers and symbols, except for spaces. Your name cannot start with a punctuation mark. If the name is already in use, you will be prompted to try another name.

Your password needs to be between 4 and 20 characters. This password cannot be the same as your Skype name. It can be any combination of letters, numbers and symbols, except for spaces. Your password cannot start with a punctuation mark. Each phone user can have their own Skype account. To delete a character press Clear, to delete an entry press and hold Clear.

NOTE: After you have created your Skype Name, it is strongly recommended that you register an email address for your Skype Name on the Skype website. This will allow Skype to generate a new password for you in the event that you lose your password. Go to www.skype.com and sign in to your account. Then follow the provided instructions for registering an email address for your account.
