An e-mail has been sent to you in order to reset your password." The user will receive a Reset Your Password e-mail notification that contains a Reset Your Password link.
The Password Expiration utility is disabled for users that log in using their network user name and password (i.e., LDAP is implemented).

Beginning with the Alio 20.1 release, a Single Sign
On function is available. If this function is implemented by your district,
an employee with an Alio user account may access LINQ Employee Portal
(LINQ EP) directly from Alio. For security purposes, each user with access
to Alio is responsible for maintaining their LINQ EP User ID and password
in Alio program
AMSIG01A.FMX – Single Sign-on.
Contact your system administrator for more information and assistance with Single Sign On.
Two Factor Authentication provides a second layer of security to the LINQ EP software solution. When Two Factor Authentication is implemented in Alio, the user must complete these steps to log in to LINQ EP:
Enter their LINQ EP User ID and password in the Sign In to Employee Portal page; and
Enter a system-generated identification code on the Two Factor Logon form. The user has the option to receive this code on their mobile phone or in their e-mail application. The mobile phone and/or e-mail address are extracted from the Employee Master Table in Alio.
When selecting the method of receiving the authentication code, select Home Phone only if the home phone is a mobile phone. The authentication code cannot be sent to a land line phone. If allowed by the district, the user can turn off Two Factor Authentication temporarily on a specific device. The system administrator sets the temporary time limit. When the time limit expires, the user must log in to LINQ EP using the Two Factor Authentication process. |
