In order to comply with internal security and industry best practices, Checkpoint passwords are now encrypted. This will affect you in the following ways:
You will need a self-created password if you want to be able to access Checkpoint on multiple devices and browsers.
An Enter Password dialog box is displayed with three options:
I would like to create/change my password - If you would like to create a password or change an existing one, select this option, enter and retype the new password in the respective fields (as per the Checkpoint Password Requirements) and click Finish.
Upon clicking Finish, validation of the entered password will be made. An error message is displayed if the passwords don't match.
Create a password for me - If you would like the system to generate a password for you, select this option, check the Generate System Password check box and click Finish.
Upon clicking Finish, you will be prompted with a confirmation message.
Note: A system generated password will not allow you to log in with other devices such as smartphones, tablets, other computers or laptops.
Note: Password details will not be included in the validation/confirmation message.
You will not be allowed to continue to Checkpoint if you click Cancel.
Note: To enable saving your username and password on multiple devices you will need to enter the same password on each device. If you change your password, you will be required to change it in all places including any other device or application (such as Speedlink, OneSource and Ultratax) that have the old password stored.
Note: If you select the Forgot My Password option at login, a temporary password will be sent to you and you will be forced to change your password on your next login.
