I am just getting started in DnD. (Session 0 was last week.) The DM helped me create a monk character, and we picked Hermit for the background (per player handbook recommendation). We'll start at level 3. I heard that DnD Beyond is a great resource, so I tried to create my character on here. (That way the character sheet would be neatly printed and beautiful.) However, I'm not allowed to select Hermit as a background. Instead I'm restricted to about 6.
Unless you buy rulebooks, or are in a campaign with content sharing (which requires somebody with a master-tier subscription), you only have access to the stuff in the Basic Rules, plus a few other free sources. Hermit is presumably in the PH, but not the Basic Rules.

Why is that?

That makes sense. Thank you for the information.
I have the PH but still cannot select it.
