  **Tip**

  This selection doesn't impact your visitors, because they will be using Cloudflare Enterprise. Instead, it should be a location geographically close to you, because your work in the WordPress Dashboard is not cached.
</Note>

6. In the **Admin Username** text box, type the admin username you want to use.

<Note>
  **Important**

  You will use this username to log in to your WordPress installation. You can add additional users later on. For greater security, we recommend using a name besides `admin.`

  Never reuse old passwords.
