Installation - Change Your Password

It is good policy to periodically change your password. To complete a password change, simply select the Password selection from the edit drop down menu.

A form will appear prompting for an old password and a new password. Complete this information and click OK. Your password will be updated.

If PortalsXpress is installed in multiple locations the password will need to be updated on all other installations. Just open the remote installation and return to the Password selection on the edit menu. Enter the new password and click OK to update.

The "Remember my Password" option tells PortalsXpress to store your password on your computer's hard drive. If your computer is secure (i.e., you have a secure Windows username / password, your computer is in a secure location like an office, etc.), having PortalsXpress remember your password is a good idea because it saves time. However, if you have any concerns about someone gaining unauthorized access to your computer (for example, if you've installed PortalsXpress on a notebook computer and you carry that notebook to the airport or a coffee shop), consider unchecking this option. When this option is unchecked, you'll be prompted to enter your password every time you start PortalsXpress or after your computer has hibernated.
