How to Use the Client Portal (OUTDATED)
NEW USER
After we receive a request from you to access your Client Portal, you will be sent an email.
The email will include your temporary password & the link to access the Client Portal Login (Sign in to your account button).
After clicking the Sign in to your account button, you will be brought to the Log In site.
Here you will enter the email address you used to opt in with & the temporary password provided in the email.
After your initial login, you will be brought to the New User screen.
Here you will enter your First & Last name & create a new password. The password must be at least 8 characters long, contain at least one number, one upper case letter & a lower case letter.
Once you entered your first & last name & entered an acceptable password, you’ll get a “Password Update” successfully pop-up.
Click Back to Login to log into the client portal with the newly created password.
Once you are logged in, this is how the “home page” will appear
