ALEX is forcing me to use a generated password

Created by Dean Phelps, Modified on Tue, Dec 12, 2023 at 10:55 AM by Dean Phelps

When you use the Forgot Password link on the ALEX login page, ALEX will send an email with the link to reset your password. When you follow that link, the ALEX web site will open in your browser and display the New Password window as shown below.


Some web browsers, such as Safari, may generate a sequence of random characters as a strong password. Safari may also open a smaller window with options for changing the password.



Open this list in that window, and you will have the option to copy the generated password or choose your own password. 


Once you have created the new password, log in immediately with your username and new password. That will give you the option to save the new password.
