Q: What if I receive a message that I cannot use my selected User ID?
A: Make sure you are choosing a User ID that is between 6 and 32 characters using letters and numbers. It must contain at least one letter and cannot contain special characters or spaces
A:By checking “Remember me” you will save your User ID on this computer or device, so that you don’t have to retype it every time you login. To protect the security of your account, only your User ID will be saved. We will not save your password.
When you save your User ID, it is stored on the computer you are using. You should never save your User ID on a public computer.
Q: How should I choose my password?
A: Your password should be difficult for others to guess. It is case sensitive and must be 8 to 20 characters, using at least one upper case and one lower case letter, and one number. The same number or letter should not be repeated more than three times in a row. Your password cannot contain any spaces or be the same as the user ID. Your password may contain the following characters @ # * ( ) + = { } / ? ~ ; , . - _
Q: Do I have to provide an email address?
A:Yes, your email address is needed to create your user ID and password. This email address will be used to allow you to retrieve your user ID if you forget it and for any login credential changes and/or updates. The email address you provide here is managed and stored separately from any email addresses you might have provided under your Delivery Preferences.
