Creating a security question and answer - Information Technology

Create A Security Question & Answer

Students, faculty and staff who have not created a security question and answer will now be prompted to do so. When the user logs into Pipeline and clicks on one of the self-serve tabs, For Students, For Faculty, and My Info a screen will pop-up prompting the user to select a question, enter a new answer and to enter their Pipeline password to confirm.

It is important you choose your question and answer carefully. It should be one that you will remember but is not so easily guessed by others. Your answer is limited to 30 characters and is case-sensitive. Keep it short, limit spaces, and do not use special characters.
