Hello LINCS Community members!
The Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) is committed to the privacy and security of your account information. In order to comply with the U.S. Department of Education’s best practices for passwords, the LINCS Community website is required to adjust its password policy. A password security enhancement will be made to the LINCS Community website this May. This change is intended to prevent others from accessing your account information.
This security enhancement will require you to change your password. Starting Monday, May 6, when you log in to your LINCS Community account, you will be prompted to replace your existing password with a longer password that contains a series of numeric, alphabetical, and special characters.
The Change Password prompt will provide additional information about the new password requirements. The LINCS Community website will guide you through the process and will let you know when the new password you've entered meets the requirements for length and complexity.
Additionally, you will be required to change your password every 365 days. When your password expires, you will receive a prompt to change your existing password after you log in to the community. You will also receive an automatic email reminder that your password will expire; for your security, please change your password when you receive this email.
If at any time you forget your password and need to reset it, please go to https://community.lincs.ed.gov/user/password. Enter in either your LINCS Community username or your email address in order to receive an email that will help you reset your password.
Finally, if you have any questions or comments about this announcement, please feel free to contact us using the contact form located at https://community.lincs.ed.gov/contact.
Thanks!
The LINCS Community Team
