I am not certain how I found myself creating a Bluemix account to create my Cloudant database, but I just created a new account directly navigating to cloudant.com. Now I have a nice username.cloudant.com service and a password that make perfect sense in terms of association with my cloudant service. My initial service creation looked more like the one in your video.
I imagine the Bluemix route, which provides access to other IBM cloud services, provides some additional flexibility and/or capability that I am not interested in currently. With that flexibility comes complexity I don't want to chase. I could create a virtual host for my cloudant service in Bluemix for an simpler, like username, hostname for my service versus the GUID initially assigned. I'm less sure how I would configure the username and password specific to that service or database. Moral of the story, if you want to keep it simple as the video depicts and Danielo suggested, just go to cloudant.com and create the service. I didn't read the terms of service (yes I checked the button). I didn't have to enter any payment information. At some point do I have to pay for cloudant.com services?
