Initial access
To access Vista Trials each user needs an account (created by the Sponsor) based on a unique email address. A temporary password to access Vista Trials is then generated and provided by email.
As the email address should be unique per account, it is not possible to have multiple users linked to a general email address. |
Login
The login requires the (unique) email address linked to the account and the password.

Temporary password
Initially, a temporary password is generated and provided by an automatic email. This temporary password allows a user to login and to define a personal password. It does not provide direct access to the Vista Trials modules, access is only possible once the user changed this temporary password into his or her personal password.
Forgot password
The login screen contains a 'forgot password' link which allows you to reset your password with a new temporary password (send to you by email).
Create password
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 (not including the current password) linked to the account. |
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 or when the temporary password has expired (only valid for 24 hrs) the system locks the account. A user can unlock the account via the forgot your password link.
Log off
An automatic log off occurs after an idle period of 15 minutes. A user can manually log off via the log off button in the header.
When a session is about to expire a message will be displayed in the left lower corner of the screen.
