Account
The sponsor creates the account for all users of the system based on a unique email address. After creation the user receives an email with a temporary password to access Vista Trials.
Login
The login requires the (unique) email address linked to the account and the password.
Temporary password
Creation
A temporary password is generated by the sponsor and provided by an automatic email. This temporary password allows a user to login and to set a personal password. It does not provide access to the Vista Trials modules.
Expiration
The temporary password is valid for 24 hours. If no personal password has been created within that time, the temporary password expires and a new one has to be requested.
Password
Creation
At initial login with a temporary password the system requests you to create a password.
The password must contain at least 8 characters and minimum
- 1 upper case
- 1 lower case
- 1 digit
- 1 special character
The system does not allow to reuse one of the previous 5 passwords linked to an account. This includes the temporary and current password.
Edit
At any time a user can access their account details and opt to edit the password.
Expiration
The password expires after a period of 90 days. During the first login after this expiration interval the system requires you to enter a new password.
Locked account
After three wrong consecutive password entries the system locks the account. An email with a re-activation link is sent to the user in order to unlock the account.
Log off
An automatic log off occurs after an idle period of 15 minutes.
