ARRL Website Using 'Your Favorites' Feature, Retrieving Forgotten Passwords

By ARRL News Editor S. Khrystyne Keane, K1SFA

Since we introduced the new ARRL Web site this past April, we have received inquiries on how to retrieve forgotten passwords, as well as how to use the "Favorites" function -- a "bookmark" feature -- on the new site.

Have you forgotten your password? You can easily retrieve it by clicking on the "Forgot Password? http://www.arrl.org/forgot-password" link, located directly under the log-in box at the top of the page. You can either request to receive a temporary password via e-mail (you must use the e-mail you originally used to register for the previous ARRL Web site), or you may retrieve a temporary password immediately by providing your user name (for hams, this is usually your call sign) and your ARRL member ID number (you can find this on your QST mailing label). You must also provide either your call sign or your last name. Click here http://www.arrl.org/forgot-password to receive a temporary password. First time Web users can get an online user name and password by clicking in the "Register" link, located next to the "Forgot Password?" link.

Once you have successfully logged in to the Web site, you will see a drop-down box that says "Your Favorites" right underneath your name (see photo ). Now navigate to any page on the ARRL Web site. Would you like to find it in just one step the next time you need it? The "Your Favorites" feature will do just that! When you are on the desired page, just click on the "Your Favorites" drop-down menu, click "Add to Favorites" then click the "Go" button. Now you have stored that Web page as one of your favorites; each time you wish to go to that page, you can just access it through the "Your Favorites" drop-down menu.

If you have any questions or concerns about the new ARRL Web site, please direct them to Katie Glass, our Digital Content Manager. You can send them via e-mail kglass@arrl.org or call Katie directly at (860) 594-0250.
