Password Reset Setup
You will be asked to provide information that will be used for authentication purposes if you forget your password or you change your password:


You will need to set up at least 1 of the authentication options listed, setting up both is highly recommended in case one method is not accessible at the time of use. 
Click Set it up now to continue.  You will be asked to verify the information you enter.
Click FINISH when you have completed at least 1 of the setup options, it is recommended you do both. 

NOTE:  If you click cancel without completing at least 1 of the options listed, you will be reminded on every login. The password change or forgot my password option will not be available to you until it is completed.
