Create and Update Account GeniusSIS

This tutorial will show you how to 1. Create your account on the Flamingo GeniusSIS 2. Change your password from the computer-generated password. The first step is to find the email you used during the Micro-Credential Enrollment form, which you should see in your email inbox.

In your email inbox, look for the email with the subject “Account Creation Notification.” It was sent by [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). If it is not in your inbox, check your spam folder!

The “Account Creation Notification” email contains information such as your Username and the Login Page, as well as instructions for changing your password. Next, click on the blue "Click here to login" button.

You will be brought to a page that looks like this. Click on the blue text that says "Recover your password."

You should be brought to a Recover Password page. Fill out the username and email address sections. Please note that the "Username" and the "Email Address" will be the same. Once you have filled out that section, click on the blue "Request Password" button.

After pressing the request password button, you should see a green blurb saying, "Your password has been sent. Please check your email."

Go back to your email and refresh your inbox. You should receive another email with the subject "Password Request" sent by [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

The Password Request email will create a password generated by the GeniuSIS system. That will be your current password to sign into the system. We will now learn how to change that password. The first step to changing your password is copying the password generated by the system. To copy it highlight the text and then right-click with your mouse. When you right-click, one option should say "Copy." Next, click on "Copy."

Next, on the “Password Request” email, scroll down to the blue "Click here to login" button and click it.

On this page, you will need to fill out your Login username, which will be your email. Next, click on the password text field. Once you click on the password text field, right-click again with your mouse, and one of the options should say "Paste." Click on the "Paste" option, and it should paste the password you copied in step #8.

Once you fill out your username and password, click the blue "Sign in" button.

You should now be on the "Dashboard" page! This is where you can access your courses and view your progress.

You can also change your password here! On the left-hand side, there should be a series of different options. One of them is "Edit Account;" click on that "Edit Account" button.

Next, click the "Change my password" checkbox; this should allow you to input the remaining text fields.

Start by putting in your "Old Password." Your “Old Password” is the system-generated password from the “Password Request” button. Then, as in our earlier step, right-click and click "Paste" to paste the copied password.

Now it is finally time to input your new password! Here are some things to keep in mind: 1. Your password must be more than six characters but less than 12. 2. Your password must have at least the following: a. One lowercase character b. One uppercase character c. One number d. and a special character.

Once you have written a password that follows those rules click on the blue "Save" button.

You should now see text to confirm that your account was successfully updated. And your password should now finally be changed!
