That required me to select a user name, one that I could easily remember. Well, tried my name--that was taken. So was first name, last name, and virtually every clever moniker I could imagine. I thought, what's the one thing that probably wouldn't be selected by the New York Times' readers, many (if not the majority) of whom are Jewish. I selected "goyim", which is a Yiddish term meaning non-Jews. Instantly, the password was accepted. Since then, I've used "goyim" as the log-in name for many websites. Like my experience with the Times, it's almost never taken, and I can easily remember it! So there you are!
