What You Need to Know Before You Log In
• Username format: Typically your first initial, last name, and a two‑digit company code (e.g., jdoe01).
• Password policy: Must contain at least eight characters, a mix of letters and numbers, and a special character. Passwords expire every 90 days.
• Two‑factor authentication (2FA): After your first login, you'll be prompted to set up 2FA via the company's authentication app or SMS.
Resetting a Forgotten Password
If you can't remember your password, click the "Forgot Password" link on the login page. Enter your employee ID and the email address on file. An automated reset link will be sent to your inbox within minutes. Follow the link, create a new password that meets the policy, and complete 2FA setup.
Common Issues and Quick Fixes
- Browser cache or cookies: Clear them if the portal fails to load.
- VPN or proxy interference: Disable VPNs for the portal's domain.
- Expired or disabled account: Contact IT Help Desk; you may need to verify your identity.
Security Best Practices for Employees
• Keep your login credentials confidential.
• Do not share your password or 2FA code with colleagues.
• Report any suspicious activity or phishing attempts to the security team immediately.
