DynDNS and ddclient.conf

I have installed ddclient v3.6.6 from
https://www.dyndns.com/support/clients/unix.html
to support updating of my dynamic ip address of my Asterisk server.
With DynDNS I have a hostname(xxxxxxxx.ftpaccess.cc) in my account.

Can someone please tell me if the file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf (see
below)is correctly changed to perform this automatic update?
Is there no username and password I need to set somewhere?
Can DynDNS find xxxxxxx.ftpaccess.cc without my account login information?
