My Heritage DNA Set Up Overview

• Account registration is required to begin
• Existing users can sign in to start the process
• MyHeritage contact information is available
• FAQS are also available at www.myheritagedna.com/setup

Asking someone the common question of where they’re from can generate some very interesting answers.   Of course, we probably owe this to all the new DNA services flooding the market these days.  An example of one such service is MyHeritage DNA.

Steps for Activating Your Kit at www.myheritagedna.com/setup

Once you receive your kit you can begin the MyHeritage DNA set up a process by filling out a short online registration form with an email address, birth year, name (last and first), password, and gender.

Before you hit the Go button, you’ll need to check a box to confirm you accept the associated Service Terms and Privacy Policy (there’s no excuse for not knowing what has been agreed to as a link is provided for both!).

Meanwhile, if you’ve already signed up for an account, you can skip registration and login to begin the MyHeritage DNA set up process.  Once the kit has been successfully activated you’ll be well on their way to being able to provide a much more interesting answer to the question of “where are you from?”.

Plans from MyHeritage DNA

• Premium Family – Provides users with access to 2 paid collections in the super search
• Premium Plus Family  – Users receive access to all 4 of the collections that are offered
• Data Subscription – Access to BILLIONS of records (hard to get more comprehensive!)
• Complete Plan – The best available plan offers access to nearly 7 billion historical records

By the way, if you’re at a standstill with the MyHeritage DNA set up process due to a lost or forgotten password you can begin the account recovery process.  In order to do so, simply enter the email address used at registration (directions on how to create a new password will be sent via email).

MyHeritage DNA Results Login

• Just like when activating your kit, you’ll need to enter an email address and password
• Likewise, you’ll also have access to online account recovery if you’re having problems getting in to see your results
• You can also decide to get premium service or order DNA kits directly from the results login screen
• Other cool features available include a family tree option along with historical records

Additionally, if you want to change the language used to complete the kit activation process, click the link posted at the top right-hand side of the page (over 40 languages are available so chances are at least one will do the trick!).

Disney Plus Account Cancel-Subscription

• If you’re tired of your account (or just need to cancel for another reason) there’s an easy online process to follow
• You’ll need to login to your Disney Plus account to begin cancellation (using the email address you used to create the account)
• Disney Plus support is available for questions
• FAQs are available at www.disneyplus.com/account/cancel-subscription

Let’s face it, sometimes things need to be canceled.  Even with something as awesome as Disney Plus.  In order to cancel your account, simply login using your email address and password.  Once you’re inside, follow the instructions to end your Disney Plus service.

Reasons to Cancel at www.disneyplus.com/account/cancel-subscription

Money – The first reason is usually the most obvious.  Sometimes we just can’t afford to spend the extra cash on leisure services.

Time – We all get busy.  And when we do, TV time on the couch is one of the first things to go.  So get your work done, and come back!

Content – It’s hard to imagine this being a reason with all of the cool stuff Disney Plus has to offer.  BUT, weirder things have happened.

Competition – Maybe you found something you like better and had to make a tough choice (time and money are also intertwined in this one).

Health – A new year’s resolution to workout more could certainly take time away from a Disney Plus binge-sesh.

By the way, if you have questions about your Disney Plus account, trying clicking the Help link at the bottom of www.disneyplus.com/account/cancel-subscription.  Doing so will bring up a HUGE list of Frequently Asked Questions.  Inside the FAQs you’ll find a bevy of valuable information on just about every possible topic (connecting to the internet, problems watching, compatible platforms, you name it).

• Forgot a username or password?  There’s help for that 🙂
• You can also change your password at www.yourspendingaccount.com/emd

Accessing Your Spending Account at www.yourspendingaccount.com/emd 

Just enter your User ID and password before clicking the Log On button (yes, it’s that easy)

Now, it should be noted that none of these services will work if you haven’t created an account (hopefully that’s fairly obvious).  So, let;s find out how to register!  In order to get started, click the Register as a New User link.  Next, go ahead and enter your information to confirm your identity and follow the instructions to complete registration.

Finally, your experience works best when using the recommended browsers and software.  You can find out which are supported by clicking the link posted at the very bottom of the portal (a clunky experience is the last thing you need).
