My Credentials

The My Credentials page is used to manage your security credentials, such as the mobile number, email address, and login password.

Procedure

  1. On the management console, hover the mouse pointer over the account name in the upper right corner and choose My Credentials from the drop-down list.
  2. View your credentials on the My Credentials page.
