-==== Task 1: Establish ORCID Account ==== +
- +
-** What is an ORCID? ** +
- +
-ORCID stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID — a persistent, globally unique identifier. +
- +
-**Why do we need this?** +
- +
-This ORCID relates to federated authentication +
-  * Federated authentication allows users to log in to systems using an identity provided by another trusted identity provider (IdP). +
-  * Examples: your university login, Google, ORCID +
-  * To create your Hellbender account - we need to have a unique identifier from a trusted source – so we are using ORCID +
- +
-== Creating an ORCID == +
-**Step 1:** Go to: https://orcid.org/ +
-  +
-**Step 2:** Select "Register Now" +
