Log in overview
Log in enables you to manage your accounts. You use a valid user ID and password to log in.
If the forgotten password function is on, also configure forgotten password information used when you forget a password.
You are given a specific number of attempts to successfully log in before the system does not allow you to use the user ID again. If we exceed the maximum number of attempts, contact the system administrator to reset your account.
If a password has expired, we are prompted to change it before the login process can be completed.
By default, you have an infinite number of tries to log in. If the default is a finite number, such as three, and we exceed the number of tries, your account is suspended. Both the failed login tries and the failed forgotten password question tries are included in the default maximum number of tries. Given a default of three tries, a user who fails twice to log in, and also fails the forgotten password question once, is locked out. The user must request help from an administrator or help desk assistant to log in..
