If You Are Unable To Access Your Account, Read This Notice
To ensure the security of all accounts hosted with StartLogic, we have changed all customer passwords; this is the password you use to log in to your control panel and to access your site via FTP (or FrontPage, or other Web authoring program).
Please check your e-mail; we have sent you a message with your temporary password. You can also retrieve your new, temporary, password via our Re-Send Password Tool.
Once you receive your temporary password, be sure to change it to a more memorable, but not easily guessable, password; you can change your password using the Change Password Tool >>
WHY DID YOU CHANGE MY PASSWORD?
To provide all of our customers with the most secure hosting environment possible, we changed account/FTP passwords. Unfortunately, online criminals are continuously developing new ways to exploit Web sites, and we are committed to taking every possible precaution to protect our customers.We recognize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we regret this necessary security measure.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY PASSWORD BE CHANGED? / WHY CAN’T I USE MY OLD PASSWORD?
We recommend that you change your password every 90 days or so. Many people use the same password for several different things, and the longer you go without changing it (and the more places you use it), the greater the risk.We will not force you to change your password every 90 days, but we strongly encourage you to do so yourself.
WHY DO I NEED A STRONG PASSWORD?
Strong passwords are far more effective at keeping your account secure than simple, every-day words (or dates, etc.). Learn more about strong passwords.
