RUSE not recognising my ubi.com account?

[Spinecone]

Hello all, I just bought RUSE off of Steam, and was confronted with a login or register screen. I created a ubi.com account, the one I am currently using, and am told by the game when I try to log into it to: "Please enter a valid username"

Anyone know whats going on, and how to sort this out? Do I just need to wait a while for it to be authenticated?
