The password chosen for an account will also be required to log in to Webkinz World. Passwords with both letters and numbers are harder to guess. Note that passwords are case-sensitive. For a discussion on choosing strong passwords, go to [[Strong Passwords]]. It is advisable to periodically change the password associated with an account, which can be done from the Webkinz World log-in screen. To obtain access in the event of a forgotten password, click "I forgot my password" on the log-in screen and provide one of the Secret Codes associated with the account. A random password will then be assigned, which can be changed.

Once an account is created, the time zone selected cannot be changed. (Note: as of 2015, all new accounts created will be in North American time zone; however, an account created before this date with a different time zone will not be affected by this change.)

Other information required to open an account includes first name, country of residence and birth date. It is advisable to keep a record of the information provided; a summary of account information can be printed after completion of the registration process. (Note: a birth date & country of residence are no longer required to make an account.)

Note that if you choose "other" as your country of residence you will be unable to access the [[KinzChat Plus]] feature in WKW.

Free accounts are locked out of the trading room, some arcade games, and even some room themes and items in the W-shop. The following are a list of some of the reported limitations of a free accounts. Despite these limitations, free accounts do receive some of the same benefits as regular accounts, including some of the [[(Picture Guide) Annual Click-to-Win|Click-to-Win]] prizes and even some holiday gift bags, but such benefits could be changed with future programming.

*Free account members are unable to purchase certain room theme items in the [[W-ShopWShop]].

You can adopt multiple pets on one account. There are advantages to adopting more than one pet on an account: adopting another pet extends the term of the account and entitles the account holder to receive special bonuses (see below). Another pet can be adopted to an existing account through the Adoption CentreCenter, which can be accessed from the [[Map of Kinzville]]. It is found in the right side of the map just above Dr.Quacks Quack's Clinic. While there is no official limit on the number of pets you can adopt per account, Ganz recommends that a new account be started after adopting 100 pets.

[[File:Adoptioncentertradingcard.png|right]]Each pet receives an adoption certificate and a bio, which can be printed. The adoption certificate will state the pet's birthday and the account's expiry date. The bio will indicate what activities, items and food the pet likes. The pet will also receive a special unique gift, not otherwise available, referred to as a "pet-specific item" (PSI), in a pet-specific gift box. The pet will also receive its favorite food, referred to as a "pet-specific food" (PSF). The "Pet of the Month" (“POTM”) comes with a bonus POTM loot bag. The PSI and PSF available with each pet can be viewed in[[(Item theGuide) WebkinzAll catalogue located on the Webkinz World welcome screenPets|here. ]]
