IMPORTANT!

Users only change password in February and August, unless a new account.

If users are having issue, the majority of the time it is not password related.

This is what we typically see:

·         User going to the wrong link

·         User missed messages about systems being down

·         User has too many screens open at once

·         User saved password (not recommended)

Users should never save a password in the browser, and users only change password in February and August upon notification.

Password Conditions:

• Minimum of 1 upper case character

• Minimum of 1 lower case character

• Minimum of 1 number

• At least 14 characters

• Minimum of 4 letters

• Cannot use first 3 letters of First Name
