<deprecated> Complete guide to registering for and using the Huntington University ID Tool

This should take you to the following screen.

Signing in Use the sign in box to sign in with your network account. If you have already registered this will take you to the application, otherwise it will take you to a screen that allows you to enroll.

Click on the box that says “Click Here” to go to the User Registration screen.
You will now see a screen with tabs for Security Questions, Verification Code, and Google Authentication. For now, we will just work with Security Questions and Verification Codes.


Adding security questions Fill out the Security Questions tab by choosing two questions, making up a third question, and providing the answers to all. You’ll need to make sure and enter your answers twice to confirm that you have typed them correctly. Please note that your answers to these questions are case-sensitive.


Configuring verification codes by adding a secondary email address On the verification tab enter a non-HU email address. This should be a secure personal email account which you can access whenever you need to use the Huntington University ID Tool. Once this is configured, whenever you sign in you will be prompted to provide a verification code which will be sent to the secondary email address you have entered.





When you click the “Enroll” button you should receive the following message to let you know you have enrolled successfully.


Using the tool Note that during the process of resetting your password or unlocking your account, you may be given a choice to either use a security answer to verify your identity or send a verification code to one of your email addresses. You may choose either if given that choice.




Signing in Once you have successful enrolled, you can use the Huntington University ID tool to reset your password or unlock your account. Go to https:\\account.huntington.edu in your web browser and login with your HU username and your password.

Changing your password At the next screen enter your old password and the new password twice. Your new password must meet the following:
· Minimum length should be at least 8
· Number of special characters to include 1
· Must contain both upper and lowercase characters
· Must contain at least one number
· Must not be a palindrome
· Must not have 3 consecutive characters from username
· Must not contain restricted patterns





When you click the change password button, you should receive a confirmation message letting you know that your password has been successfully changed.

Resetting your password Resetting your password is very similar to changing it and is done when you have forgotten your password. Go to https:\\account.huntington.edu in your web browser and click the button that says “Reset Password”.




Enter your username and choose the domain it belongs to in the screen which comes up.



The tool will now present you with a screen which gives you a choice of using your security answers to the questions you chose when you registered to verify your identity or using a verification code to verify your identity.



You will need to choose one of the options and then type the characters you see in the picture. Once you click “Continue” you will be taken to the next screen.

If you have chosen to use your security answers the next screen will look like this.



Type in your answer and the letters in the picture, then hit “Continue” to advance through the questions. You should end up at a screen requesting that you enter your new password.

Enter your new password and confirm it by re-entering it. If you meet all the password requirements they will have green check marks next to them. Once this is met type in the characters in the picture, then hit the “Reset Password” button.


You have just successfully reset your password!



If you chose instead to use a verification code instead of providing security answers, the screen which appears will look like this.




Enter the verification code you received in your email and type in the characters from the picture, then hit “Continue” to proceed to the next screen.




Enter your new password and confirm it by re-entering it. If you meet all the password requirements they will have green check marks next to them. Once this is met type in the characters in the picture, then hit the “Reset Password” button.

Unlocking your account Go to https:\\account.huntington.edu in your web browser and click the button that says “Unlock Account”
.


At the next screen enter your username and choose your domain, then click the “Continue” button.







The next screen will ask where you wish to send your verification code. Depending on what you entered when you registered, you will get to choose either your work email or another you may have entered. Note that part of the email is “starred” out to protect your information from any onlookers. Choose the email address which you have access to currently and type in the code shown in the picture. Then hit the “Continue” button.




A verification code will be sent to the email address you selected. Enter it into the Verification Code field and once again enter the code shown in the picture, then press “Continue”.




Finally, enter the code shown in the picture one last time and click the “Unlock Account” button.





If you have entered the code successfully you should see the following screen. Your account is now unlocked.
