IFMS Password
Policies
~ Never tell your password to anyone, including the IFMS Hotline or people at EPA.
Headquarters. There is no legitimate reason for anyone but you to know your
password. Passwords are hidden and encrypted for a good reason.
~ Choose a password that is easy to remember so you don't have to write it down.
A helpful method is to combine two totally unrelated words such as TAXAPPLE
or PINKGOAT.
~ We do not recommend using your birthday or your child's name as a password.
While easy for you to remember, they are also easy for anyone to guess.
~ Never put your password in your Rolodex or on a Post-It note on your wall.
~ Upon implementation of Release S.1E, you will be forced off IFMS after S
consecutive failed attempts to logon to IFMS. That is, if you mistype your
password five time in a row during one logon attempt, IFMS will automatically
disable your USERID. After June 30, 1994, you will only be allowed 3 failed
attempts before being forced off the system. The following error message will
appear if you are forced off IFMS:
*FE00 MAX LOGON TRIES REACHED
If you receive this message, you will need to call one of the IFMS Security
Administrators (Randi Davis 202-260-5079 or Valerie Chun 202-260-6016) to
have your USERID reset.
~ If you go more than a year without accessing IFMS, your USERID will be
disabled, and will need to call one of the IFMS Security Administrators (Valarie
Chun 202-260-6016 or Randi Davis 202-260-5079) to have your USERID reset.
