How do I apply for a BMO credit card?
I’m a BMO customer in Canada. Can I apply for a BMO U.S. credit card?
How do I activate my credit card?
There's two options for BMO, the first (BMO Bank of Montreal) asks for a "Card Number and a password. Other banks list a "User ID" and Password.
Entering my User ID that I use to log into mobile banking didn't work. Entering my debit card number didn't work. Entering the account's routing number didn't work. "The credentials you provided were incorrect" every time.
I have no idea what information it could want.

The second option (BMO Bank of Montreal - InvestorLine (Self-Directed) ) - does not seem like it would be the correct option, but it asks for a "Client ID/User ID/Account #" instead.
Entering my user id into that sits on "Authorizing with our servers" for a long time, and then says "Something went wrong".

Any ideas?
If it helps I'm within the US. BMO Harris. Does that mean it only supports the Canadian branch and I'm out of luck?
I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to make this work.
