Need an Automated Number for Password Recovery?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the inability to retrieve passwords through an automated number at HO, which was discontinued several years ago. Currently, the only method to recover a password is by calling HO and answering a series of security questions. This limitation raises concerns, especially given that HO is closed on the last day of the year, potentially impacting consultants' ability to submit important shows or promotions. The issue highlights the need for better support systems for consultants facing urgent password recovery situations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of HO's password recovery policies
  • Familiarity with security question protocols
  • Knowledge of consultant responsibilities and timelines
  • Awareness of HO's operational hours and their impact on consultants
NEXT STEPS
  • Research HO's current password recovery procedures
  • Explore best practices for managing consultant email addresses
  • Investigate alternative support systems for urgent consultant issues
  • Learn about the implications of operational hours on business processes
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for consultants, support staff at HO, and anyone involved in managing consultant operations, particularly those concerned with password recovery and operational efficiency.

Is there an automated number at HO to retrieve your password? My new consultant who signed last night made a typo when entering her email address so she can't get the email from HO with her consultant number and p/w. And, HO is closed until Monday.

On another note....I CANNOT believe that HO is totally closed on the last day of the last month of the year...I'd be so upset if I had problems with a show that would earn me a trip or a promotion.
 
You can't retrieve your password from the automated number anymore. It was taken away a few years ago.The only way is to call HO and they will ask a series of security questions and then they will give the password. A consultant of mine had to do it last month on the last day to get a show in to stay within her 6 mos.

Thanks Colleen - my NED and I were just talking about this. She offered to make "a call" to get it - but it's not that big a deal, this girl can wait until Monday.
