  1. To begin the password reset process, click the link in the upper righthand corner of this document.
  2. Perform two-step identity verification:
    1. Request an email invitation by entering your email address at the prompt and pressing the button (screen shot)
    2. Click the link in the email to launch a secure landing page in a browser window (screen shot)
    3. Request an one-time PIN by pressing a button that sends a PIN via an automated voice message to your phone number (screen shot)
    4. Verify the one-time PIN by entering it on the web page and pressing the button (screen shot)
  3. Create a new password: (screen shot)
    1. Enter a new password at the prompt
    2. Confirm the new password at the second prompt

That's it! You are now ready to log into the Federation Manager.
