Introduction to using this system
As a user of this system you have been given an "account". You have received a "username" (probably by email), and a password (probably by cellphone text message).
The password you received has only a short lifespan, and must be changed soon.
Pick a good password
Invent something impossible to guess, yet easy to remember.
- Avoid personal info. Don't use your mother's birthday or your pet cat.
- Avoid plain words. Gibberish mixed with mumbo jumbo is much better (robots use dictionaries!).
Suggestion: Think of a phrase - e.g. a poem or a song. Pick first letter of each word. Add a number. Gibberish in itself, but easy (for you) to remember/recreate.
Save your password in your head only
Your password is strictly personal.
- Do not write it down.
- Do not ever reveal it to anyone. Not a friend, your boss, the police, me or other technicians.
- Be proud if you forget your password: That means you picked a strong password :-)
If you loose or reveal your password, a new one is created for you (and texted to you, if your cellphone number is known to the system).
Change your password
Depending on system setup, you may change your password with the provided webmail "IMP" (contact your technicians for details).
