    Hello CINners!! This is a Public CINner Announcement (PCA)! Login detour ahead!! 🚧 Next Wednesday, December 18th, when you log into CIN, you will be required to reset your password! This will be a one-time request.

    Why?

    I am super excited about what is coming in 2025 with the CIN community! CompTIA has noticed how great you CINners are and wants to expand the community and services! We will be making major changes to our community, making it easier to connect with your CompTIA contacts, get access to tech support, find answers to your questions about products, provide more resources and more. We will even see changes coming to the look and feel for our community, new forums, and a lot of new badging and engagement opportunities! 🎉🎉🙌

    However, as we know, with progress comes a lot of construction. Our first step is moving off our existing authentication platform. This move will come next Wednesday. We will move your CIN data, however, passwords do not move. That is why you will be asked to reset your password when you log in.

    IMPORTANT NOTE! This will NOT affect your CompTIA SSO or access to other CompTIA Services! This is just for CIN access. CIN authentication will stand-alone event for the duration of the construction.

    With all these upgrades, it feels like CompTIA is giving us the VIP treatment—new forums, more resources, and (wait for it...) BADGES! 🏅 Can't wait to see the glow-up!

    After 8 months I finally got my password memorized, and now I'm going to have to change it? This just isn't fair!!! It's this kind of life challenge that could cause me to use a generic password - like "password". Oh well, no sense complaining. I'll just have to come up with a plan - something I'm not very good at :-(

    Mr. Stephen Schneiter, if you feel this is safe, I'll do it. Give me a few days to locate the tablet where I have those passwords written. I seem to have misplaced it. Thank you for your generosity to assist!!!!
