- SSO allows you to set your own SSO Password that you may change online at any time.
- Your SSO Password is a combination of letters, embedded numbers and special characters that you may reset only by answering three Challenge Responses that you establish (see What is a Challenge Response? for more information).

How do I change my SSO account (SSO User ID and Password)?
The Modify Account menu on the sign on screen allows you to update your SSO account at any time.
Simply select from the options in the menu and enter the required information. You will receive a system-generated
email message confirming the changes you made to your account.

What is a Challenge Response?
Challenge questions are three special questions that you will answer during the SSO registration process. The answers you provide -- your Challenge Responses -- will be used as a confirmation if you need to reset your Password, so it is important that you remember the answers you provide during registration. Your Challenge Responses need only follow the guidelines for character length (outlined during the registration process). You are the source for the data you provide and it will only be used for Password reset.

What is a timeout?
All sites have a "timeout" setting, which means that your SSO session will become invalid after a certain period of inactivity. This is a security precaution so that your account can not be used if you are away from your computer for a period of time. Depending on the security of the information presented on a site, the timeout settings for different sites will vary.
