These two pieces of information insure the security necessary for accessing the information available. Students, staff, and faculty all login at the same address and in the same way. Persons are identified by the system as being a student, an employee, or both. Each group is able to view information appropriate only to that group.
Tech ID's appear on MavCards and staff ID cards. They do not change for an individual's entire career at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
There are provisions on the web login page for looking up your tech ID in case you have forgotten it. Oftentimes the tech ID is called the "login ID" since it is used to login to the web system.
Initially, your PIN is set to either:
your birth date in the form YYMMDD
for example, August 26, 1953 would generate a PIN of 530826
the last six digits of your social security number
The first time that you login using your initial PIN, you will be forced to change it to a more secure tech ID password. The screen will prompt you to follow certain rules to create a tech ID password that will end up containing letters and numbers. If you have been using a PIN for your tech ID password, you can continue doing so. If you are new to the system and have never logged in using your initial PIN, you will not be able to continue to use a six-digit number.
There are provisions on the web login page for looking up your PIN in case you have forgotten it.
Your tech ID password keeps whatever value it has unless:
it is one of the initial PIN values
you change it (one of the options within the web system)
you forget your tech ID password and need to have it reset (it then changes to one of the initial PIN values, which will mean that you will be forced to change it when next you login)
