Change Your Own Password

To change your password:

  1. Enter old and new password information in the fields as directed.

  2. Click Save.

Password should be a minimum of 6 characters in length and it must contain at least one alphabet, one numeric and one special character.

Allowed special characters are:

~ @ # $ % ! ^ & * + =

One Method for Creating a Very Strong But Memorable Password

  1. Think of a memorable sentence:
    "My first car was a '74 Trans Am."

  2. Replace each word with its first letter, or, if the word is a number or ordinal, the number:
    m1cwa74ta

  3. Randomly mix upper- and lowercase letters:
    m1CwA74tA

  4. Finally, substitute one or more of the allowed special characters (~ @ # $ % ! ^ & * + =). You can substitute special characters that look like the characters they're replacing ($ for s, @ for a, ! for l, etc.) or that sound like the words represented (stAR (*) for "cAR", AMpersand (&) for Trans AM):
    Your password:  m1*wA74t&
