Login Information and Password Requirements
- Password must be at least seven (7) characters long and must include letters AND numbers. You can also use symbols (e.g. @#$%^&).
- Passwords are CASE SENSITIVE.
- For security purposes, passwords are required to change every 90 days.
- Passwords cannot be reused for 9 cycles.
- If you forget your password and have one failed login attempt, a “Forgot Password Link” will appear under the Login box. Click that link and instructions will be mailed to you. We recommend using this before you reach ten (10) attempts.
- You will have ten (10) tries to login to your account, after that, the account is locked. An email message will be sent to the email address assigned to the login to notify you of the unsuccessful attempts and provide a link to unlock the login. The account is unlocked when the user clicks the link within the email message or when the lock expires after 30 minutes.
