My Profile

The My Profile screen allows you to update the information about your user account on the current BenSelect site. The screen is organized into two sections: Contact Information and Security Information.

Contact Information

Use this section to view/update a valid email address, mobile number, or both. These will be used for assistance logging into BenSelect using two-factor authentication. After entering or changing an email or mobile number, the contact information will be verified through a code sent to you at the given email or number.

Security Information

This section provides access for you to change your password, update your security questions, and enable/disable two-factor authentication.

Your username and password uniquely identify you to the system. The system keeps track of the changes you make, so you should NEVER GIVE YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO ANOTHER PERSON.

Change My Password

Click this link to open a dialog box allowing you to change your password. Enter your current password, and a new password.

The system enforces the following password rules:

• Passwords expire after 90 days. The system will remind you starting 10 days before the password expires.
• Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length.
• Passwords must contain both letters and numbers.
• Passwords must have both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• You may not reuse the last 16 passwords you have used before.
• If your password expires, you will not be allowed to do anything unless you first change your password.

Update Security Questions

Click this link to open a dialog box allowing you to update your security questions. These questions will be used to authenticate you as the correct user, when requesting a password update.

Authorization App Setup

Two key authentication is a way to add an additional layer of security to your log in credentials. Instead of using just one step (a password, you have a second step that requires a secure random password generator. Any one-time password (OTP) application will work for this, but the one most typically used is the Google Authenticator, which is available on your mobile device app store. While two key authentication isn’t a requirement at this time, it is recommended.

To review your settings for this feature and turn it on/off, you will need to navigate to the “Session” on the main menu ribbon of any case and select “My Profile” from the drop down. On this screen, you can update your security questions, change password, and enable two key authentication. The default for “Authorization App Setup” is disabled. You can click the blue box next to it to enable it.
