9. Click Continue.

   

10. Follow the password requirements. Enter your New Password and retype it under Confirm Password.

    • The Strength indicator to the right of the New Password will show if the password is secure. If too weak, it will not allow you to continue until the password is stronger.

    • A green checkmark will appear to the right of the Confirm Password, to show the passwords match.

    • Any direction or error message will appear in the text box above New Password.

19. Go to the How do I register for Owens Single Sign On (SSO) Authentication? FAQ and follow the steps, beginning at step #8, to set up your Multi-factor Authentication Method.
