What is a temporary password? How does it work?

When you loose or forget your password you can request that a temporary password be sent to you through the Password Retrieval process. Important things to remember about a temporary password:

1. It is valid for a SINGLE login only - so change your password immediately once you log in.
2. Your temporary password "becomes" your original password once it has been issued. So, when you go to update your password as in (1) above, fill your temporary password in where it asks for your original password.
