Can you explain what User Credentials means?

Everyone receives SFPS User Credentials. Your Credentials are your KEY to unlock the technology resources you need to be successful in your work!

Credentials consist of username, email address, and password. Credentials for all users are created by the Technology Department.
A User is a person who is granted access to the District's Technology Resources.
A Technology Resource means all computer hardware, computer software, communications devices, facilities, equipment, networks, passwords, licensing and electronic documents.

After Human Resource Orientation, you should have received a Welcome Letter from HR containing your email address credentials.

You will need to reference or remember your login credentials contained, which includes your user name, email address and a temporary password. In this letter, you were asked to change the temporary password to a customized passphrase.

It is recommended that everyone creates a 20 character passphrase as their password. This will actually make the password selection process easier since having 20 characters in the password removes many of the complexity requirements that can make creating a password difficult and frustrating. Creating a unique 20 character passphrase every time a password reset is required will make the reset process much easier.

Please make sure that you have your password recovery options configured within ClassLink. Users can perform a password reset for themselves as long as they have already configured password recovery options within their ClassLink profile. If you have not already done so please make sure that your password recovery options within ClassLink are set up. Here is a helpful article from ClassLink on how to set up password recovery options.

Here is a link to our full password policy requirements: SFPS Password Policies

You will have to use your new password to log on. The Welcome Letter with this information looked something liked this:

Username: jdoe
Email Address: jdoe@sfps.k12.nm.us
Temporary Password: $ecurity2019

If you forgot or not sure of either, you can call the Central Support Center at 467-HELP during the hours of 7:30am to 5:00pm, Monday thru Friday for immediate support.
