When I click the "Lab" button I get a new tab with Strigo, but it wants either a Google account or an email/password for a Strigo account. This doesn't work with the username/password the course materials provide. Did Strigo change from underneath your course materials? ---

Ah, never mind. One must create a Strigo account using the email address one uses for [elastic.co](http://elastic.co), which was not clear from the instructions. ---
