Due to the increase of world-wide scams and hackers, our registration database is changing their requirements for passwords. These changes allows our database's security system to meet industry-accepted security principles and best practices, as defined by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. These standards include topics such as multi-factor authentication, minimum password lengths, and expiry of passwords.

Starting February 6th, you will need to make a new password for the registration system using the following requirements:

• Must be 12 characters long
• Must contain a number and any two of the following three: upper case, lower case, special characters (for example: (){}!@$%^&*)
• It cannot match your username

After February 6th, you'll be automatically prompted to change your password when you attempt to login to the system. On your first sign-in, you’ll be emailed a verification code that you’ll need to put into the system. You will have to complete the verification every 365 days. 

We recommend completing your password change by March 31st, 2025 in order to have an easy Summer 2025 registration. 

Please note: This is not an Osher initiated change; this decision is coming directly from our database provider. Office staff will do their best to help all members and study leaders during the transition.
