IAJGS2016Discussion Mailing List: Family Finder updated

[Harvey Kabaker (harvey.kabaker]

The IAJGS Conference Online Family Finder has been updated and reflects 
family research information added and revised by May 27.

If you have recently changed your Conference password, you will not be 
able to log in to the Family Finder with the new password. Please look 
at your original registration confirmation e-mail and use the password 
assigned to you then. It looks like this: AKZX8653.

*Important:* If you use "caps lock" to type the letters, turn it off 
before typing the numbers. Though they look the same on the screen, 
numbers with caps lock have a different machine code.

*Hint:* You can type the letters in lower case when logging into either 
system.

I am sending individual e-mails this weekend to each registrant who 
recently changed his or her password (through May 27), showing the 
Conference password. Please save this password not only for the Family 
Finder, but also because it will replace the password you gave yourself.

Why must we do this? Because the registration system encodes 
self-assigned passwords in a way that cannot be understood by the Family 
Finder login routine. Why not? I don't know.
