IF YOU ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY LOGGING INTO YOUR ACCOUNT:

• The log-in fields for agency log-in name, username and password are case-sensitive, and MUST be entered with the correct combination of lower-case and upper-case letters.
• If you are not certain about your correct log-in credentials, there are 2 ways to recover your credentials:  

(1) Please try the, Can't Sign In? button on the website log in page, and the Forgot your credentials link on the IaR App log in page. 

(2) your credentials can be re-sent to you by having an IaR Admin member of your department do the following:

• • log into your system online
  • go to the Administrative Functions page
  • then point to the Manage Members function
  • select Re-send Log-in Credentials.
  • They can then select you from the list, and have your credentials re-sent to you, as long as you also have your email address entered within your profile.
