A website portal has been setup called “Password Manager”, which will allow users to manage their own passwords, and change or recover lost passwords. Beginning Wednesday, November 6th, ITRTs will began piloting new password security policies. Technology has been piloting the process for the last month. In preparation for a rollout after winter break. We need to extend the pilot to the ITRTs for further testing and to work out any of the kinks

Please use the following schedule to prepare for and participate in the pilot:

Wednesday, November 6th-Sunday, November 10th- Login to password manager, set up your “Question and Answer Profile,” and change your password.

Monday, November 11th – begin full implementation- you will be required to reset your passwords every 10 days until the rollout in January.

So, how can we do this as a creative exercise.
