As our next step to enhance security, Kronos will be implementing changes for all users logging into the Workforce Ready platform.\u00a0 These changes will apply to Workforce users. To help you prepare we will be holding a webinar<\/a> to fully explain and demonstrate the new functionality.\u00a0 The changes planned are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Enhanced password standards<\/strong> \u2013 Beginning Thursday, July 9th\u00a0the system will require all users to create a new password.\u00a0 The password must contain a minimum of 8 characters and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number and one symbol. Users will also be prompted to change their password every 90 days.\u00a0 On the next login, the system will prompt the user for a new password, requiring that they enter passwords that meet the new standards.<\/li>\n
  2. Multi-factor Authentication <\/strong>\u2013 Beginning Thursday, July 9th the system will also require Multi-factor authentication.\u00a0 Currently the system requires a user name and password to access the system. Multi-factor authentication adds an additional level of security, by requiring the user to also enter a randomly generated 6 digit code.\u00a0 This 6 digit code can be sent to the user via email, mobile text message, or a phone call.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Beginning Thursday, July 9th, the following will occur during your user\u2019s login:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The user will be prompted to register for Kronos Multi-Factor Authentication<\/li>\n
    2. The system will access the phone number and email address on file, and ask the user to select which phone number or email address should be used for communication<\/li>\n
    3. The next time the user logs in, they will select the method for delivery (email, text message, or phone call) and the system will generate a random 6 digit code and send it to them<\/li>\n
    4. After entering the code, the system will validate the number, and grant access to the application<\/li>\n
    5. The user will have the option to \u201cremember\u201d the computer they are using and forgo the verification process in the future<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
