All About Passwords

For New Members:

Before using your account you must first set a password. After you have successfully submitted your membership application, you will be presented with a form to create your password. Enter your password twice and click on the Set Password button.

Tips: Don’t use a password you have used somewhere else.  Set a password that is at least 16 characters in length.  Use a Password Manager.  Don’t share your password.

 

For Renewing Members:
