Next Steps…

Password

1. You will need to generate a password for your Lone Star account. You may use a question from the drop-down lists, OR chose your own.

2. Take a photo of this page, AND chose password reminders that won’t change. (i.e. You may not remember who your childhood hero was, but your first grade teacher will stay the same.)

3. Passwords need to match ALL of the requirements listed. Most importantly , they cannot contain part of your name. (i.e. Joseph Smith cannot use “Jos12345” or “Smith2017”)

4. Again, chose a password that is easy to remember. (Ex: If you have a student ID number at your school, try using your initials with the number. Joseph Alan Smith = JaS123456) OR you can use a password generator and record your information on your phone.
