You need an email and I think phone number is optional. I can’t remember. Most people use their real name, first and last. I’ve had several accounts at different times with my real name and other times using a fake name. You have to be over a certain age, I think 14 but you set a random birthday. You will have to confirm your account by email. There’s a way to keep anyone from seeing your activity. I have a fake name account to keep up with local information and look for local for sale items. I’m not concerned with my email and phone number because that’s public information if you search hard enough. I was trying to find an old coworker’s phone number and found her email address and every cell phone number related to her, probably her kids. Do a search for anyone you know online and the information is out there. It also lists your child, parents, in laws etc.
