    Verifying your Registered Email Address

    When your eXtensionID is created, you'll receive an email message from eXtensionHelp@eXtension.org asking you to confirm your email address - this email will look similar to the following: 

      From:   extensionhelp@extension.org
  Subject: eXtension.org: Please confirm your email address
  To:   youremail@yourinstitution

  Before your eXtension account is activated, you must confirm your
  email address. Your confirmation code is: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO

  You can also confirm your account by clicking on the following link:

  http://people.extension.org/account/confirm_email_address?confirmation_code=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO

    You'll need to confirm that your email address is correct and working before you can start using your eXtensionID

    eXtensionID Password Recommendations

    The eXtensionID password change tool does not currently enforce any password restrictions. Therefore it is strongly recommended that your password:

    • contain at least 8 characters
    • contain at least one capital letter
    • contain at least one lowercase letter
    • contain at least one special character (not a letter or numeral)
    • not contain anything that people might associate with you, such as your name, your name backwards, your initials, friend's name, pet's name, birthdays or anniversaries.
    • be easy for you to remember so that you won't be tempted to write it down

    The best passwords are "mnemonic passwords" - these are usually as secure as randomly generated passwords and far easier to remember. Use a sentence or phrase based on little-known personal information - and construct a password out of the first or second letters of that phrase. For example, if you were a big fan of George Strait and negative on the chances of NC State making it to a bowl game - you might pick the sentence "If State makes it to a bowl, I'll buy oceanfront property in Arizona" - taking the first letter from the sentence and changing a few letters to numerals might produce: ISmitabI'llb0piA (note the uppercase, numeral, and special character).
