Security of Your Password
Browser Password Security. We do not persist your password in your browser’s cache. We use secure cookies with limited lifespans. You will be asked to re-enter your login credentials if your session is idle for the allotted timeout period.
Password Storage. We do not store your password in plain text. Your password is encrypted, and only you know what it is. If you forget your password, you will have to reset it from the sign in page.

Never share your username or password. It is a violation of our terms of service to share your username and password with anyone.
