First Time Users or After Password Recovery

Change your password

The first page presented to you requires you to create a new Password unique to you.

Do not use passwords such as family names, street names, pet names and birthdays, which are easily guessed.
It is better to construct a password by combining randomly selected letters and numbers. If a string of random letters and numbers is difficult to remember, try using two unrelated words combined with a number (for example, two3four).
It is recommended that you change your password every 30 days.

SECURITY PRECAUTIONS

INSTALL PRIVACY PROTECTION SOFTWARE ON YOUR COMPUTER:
Install readily available software which protects your computer from viruses, hackers, malware, and other intrusive threats to your privacy. An Internet keyword search for "malware and virus protection" will yield a variety of software products available for this purpose.
PROTECT YOUR USER ID AND PASSWORD:
Anyone to whom you give your access information could access your account information and account balances without your knowledge and authorization. You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your Username and Password. The Local cannot take responsibility for account access resulting from your failure to protect your access information.
USE A SCREEN SAVER:
Most computers can be configured to activate a screen saver that pops up after a few minutes of inactivity. The screen saver hides the information on your screen from others while you are away from your computer. You can configure most screen savers to ask the user for a password before gaining access to the computer.
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:
Some Web browsers and third‐party software provide the option to automatically remember your Username and Password. Please take care in using these features as stored passwords can be used by anyone with access to your computer.

Public access to the Internet is offered in many libraries, airports, copy centers and coffee shops. We discourage you from accessing the Local 43 Member Portals through a public computer.
