Home icon. This icon appears on your computer’s desktop, Start menu, and system tray
(Windows), or in the Launchpad and the Applications folder in the Finder (Mac).
2 If the fields are not already filled in, enter your username and password.
3 (Optional) Check the box if you want the application to remember your username and password, so you do not need to
enter them each time you log in.
