Security must always be paramount when using internet services, and we take this seriously when considering how to best serve our users.
Your unique username enables us to identify you as an individual. The password we provide at registration is only intended for use for the first time you logon. Following initial use, it is essential that you change it to a word of your own choosing to ensure the confidentiality and security of your estimating records.
- Log onto Inter-est using your existing password
- The Estimating tab is the first screen you come to. There is a button labelled ‘password’ to the bottom right of this screen.
- Click the ‘password’ button and enter your new password in the space provided.
- Retype your new password to confirm
- Click ok
To ensure passwords remain secure, we recommend that they are 6 or more characters long, and are a combination of letters and numbers. It is often a simple matter to substitute numbers for letters to make a memorable word more secure. For example, 4 can be used instead of an A; 3 instead of an E or 5 instead of S. Inter-est is not case sensitive.
For additional security, you should also consider periodically changing your password. We do not enforce this practice but strongly recommend you consider doing so for your added protection.
