You have just joined ALAF and paid your membership fee. You have therefore received an email with the login details for the account created for you on the website. You can now log in to the website using your member credentials. To log in, you’ll need:
- a login identifier: either the one in the format auxxxxxxm sent to you by email or, simply, your email address (which is easier to remember),
- a password that you’ll need to set.
How can I log in ?
To log in, simply click on the “green man” icon displayed, on a large screen, at the top right and, on a mobile or tablet, at the bottom of the menu that appears after clicking on “the three horizontal stripes”.
On the page that is then displayed, you only have to enter your login identifier (preferably your email address) and your password.
And, if I don’t have a password yet ?
The first time you log in to the site, you have to set and enter your password. To do this, click on the “Lost your password?” link and follow the instructions:
- enter your email address,
- click on “Get new password”,
- the system then checks that you are not a usurper: an email is sent to the address you gave; this email contains a special link, with a limited life span,
- check your incoming mail and, when the expected mail arrives, simply click on the link it contains; you will thus prove that you are indeed the owner of the email address,
- you can then enter the new password you’ve chosen or, by clicking on “Generate password”, let the system generate it for you,
- in all cases write it down carefully or, better yet, save it in the password manager associated with your browser or system.
You can now log in normally and access your member account as well as the member-only services and content.
And, what if I lose or forget my password ?
Don’t panic if you forget your password. Do as you did the first time you logged in: click on “Lost password?”, follow the procedure above and, this time, make a note of your new password!
What about security ?
The security of your account, and therefore of your personal data, depends largely on the quality of your password. If you set your own password, be sure to follow the recommendations displayed (about password length, mix of different character types…). At all costs, avoid passwords that are too easy to guess!
When the system generates a password for you, it ensures that its value is very difficult to guess, which protects you from illicit access to your account, and therefore to your personal data and, more generally, to the association’s site.
Of course, the generated passwords are difficult to remember. But that’s the price you pay for your security! To remember them, we recommend using a password manager such as those associated with the various browsers on the market (Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari). Of course, protect your password manager with a strong password, which will be the only password you’ll need to remember.
