Ribbit Code Challenge - Signing Up New Users Part 2 : Task 2 of 4

Evidently I need help reading instructions, typing, or seeing the obvious right in front of my face. 

PFUser *newUser = [PFUser user];
newUser.username = username;
newUser.password = password;

Doesn't work and gives me: Bummer! Compilation Error! Make sure you are correctly initializing the 'newUser' variable, and check your syntax.

What intuitively obvious thing right in front of my face am I missing?

Hi Janine! I'll work on that hint. Here's a better one: username and password are properties of the view controller, and we usually need to reference properties with "self".

Thanks! Geez, that's what tripped me up on the first task. I'm supposed to remember it?!? ;)
