Resolving Access Obstacles for Your Employee Account
β οΈ Accessing Your Account After Forgetting Your Password
Cause: You've forgotten your network password or your AHS account password.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you can't recall your password, look for a 'Forgot your password?' or 'Reset Your Password' link on the login page. Follow the prompts, which typically involve entering your username or email and verifying your identity through security questions or a reset link sent to your registered email. Alameda Health System also provides an AHS IAM Password Reset feature to help you regain access.
β οΈ Account Locked Due to Multiple Failed Attempts
Cause: Entering incorrect login credentials multiple times can lead to your AHS Network account being locked for a short period.
Solution: Your AHS Network account might lock for about 15 minutes after too many unsuccessful login tries. If you have already completed your AHS IAM Security Profile, you can often unlock your account yourself without needing to contact the IT Service Desk. Look for an 'Account Unlock' option on the login page or within the AHS IAM tools.
β οΈ Issues with the UKG Dimensions Mobile App
Cause: The mobile app may experience slow loading, freezing, or failure to open, sometimes due to connectivity issues or device-specific problems.
Solution: If the app is not working correctly, first ensure you have a strong internet connection. Try closing the app completely and reopening it. If the problem persists, deleting the app and re-downloading it from your device's app store can often resolve issues. For persistent problems, especially on iOS devices where some users report frequent reinstallation being necessary, confirm your device meets system requirements.
Protecting Your Workforce Data and Digital Identity
- π Create Robust Passwords: Always use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.
- π Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Ensure you register and use 2FA for all remote access. This adds an essential layer of security beyond just your password, protecting your digital identity.
- π Log Out After Each Session: Especially when using shared or public computers, always click Sign Out to prevent unauthorized access to your account and sensitive workforce data.
- π Protect Your Credentials: Never share your login information with anyone. Be wary of phishing attempts that try to trick you into revealing your password.
- π Regular Password Updates: Consider changing your password periodically, perhaps every three to six months, to maintain high security standards.
- π Recognize Official Sources: Only access the portal via the official URL or the verified UKG Dimensions app. Be cautious of unfamiliar links or requests for login details.
