Okay, so I may be a little bit newer to this platform, but can someone tell me what the number next to my name means? Thanks in advance.

It is your reputation, i am a newbie as well, but as far as i know, it increases with the amount of steem power you have and the upvotes/posts you receive/make :) A big reputation means you add bigger value with your upvotes too.

Can you pick your own account password? Or do you have to.use the generated one

I picked my own password.

I signed up on my phone and it generated a password for me. When j try to log into a computer the password doesn't work. I go to the password tab on my phone but the only option is to generate a new password .

That sounds annoying, i would contact steem support if i were in your shoes.

Sounds good, thanks!

I am new as well, but I found this presentation to be a good overview of steemit.
