Even though you think that user name and password should be 2 things( and you want it to be are which would apply to a plural, I think that in the context of this sentence it seems to be singular , not plural.

Should they be able to stand on their own? For example: I like apple pie_______________not liking apple pie would make me silly. Is the second part an independent clause? I would think a comma would work in this case, but then I think I would have a comma splice...http://www.englishforums.com/English/AOrAnBeforeMba/cvcc/post.htm#11188Mon, 20 Oct 2003 12:48:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:11188mindserveYour right~http://www.englishforums.com/English/DanglerMisplacedPartSentence-Fragments/cvmb/post.htmMon, 20 Oct 2003 12:39:45 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:11187mindserveThe book I have does not really explain the above parts of grammar very clearly.

That only leaves you with a dangler. Why? Well, you know it's not a so lets not bother. You know it's not d. Your not sure if it's a comma splice or dangler right? So what is the rule for a comma splice. The rule is that both parts of the sentence must be independent clauses. Are both parts of the sentence independent of each other? Do they have a coordinate conjunction. First, they are not independent of each other. So that must mean that it's a dangler.http://www.englishforums.com/English/SelectBestAnswersEachQuestion-Statement/qzn/post.htm#11185Mon, 20 Oct 2003 12:15:06 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:11185mindserve2 is a run on sentence. 3 is a comma spice 4 is correct I don't know about 1. I know it's not a. A fragment is a part of a sentence, and does not have an independent clause. I think it would be either a misplaced part, or a dangler. I would probably choose dangler. If it were a misplaced part, you could move the 2nd part of the sentence around and it would make sense. Can you do this with this sentence. If you get the answer, let me know, I am interested in this one.http://www.englishforums.com/English/AOrAnBeforeMba/cvcc/post.htm#11057Sat, 18 Oct 2003 00:25:54 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:11057mindserveI think the best way to handle it on a resume is not to say I. Under education just put MBA university of.... Rarely have I heard of the pronoun I being used on a resume. So leave it out. In general writing a would be correct as m is a consonant sound.
