Give your certificate a profile name (name is free to pick).

Pick “Create a new author certificate” if you have never used one. If you already have one, then you can choose to select an existing author certificate instead.

If you decided to create a new author certificate, you will get this screen. Fill in the fields as requested with your own. Fill in a password. You can add additional fields when opening the “More details” component.
