Inactive Account Issues:

Inactive accounts are deactivated after 30 days of non-use as a security measure. To maintain access to your account and HMIS resources, please log in regularly. Contact HMIS to reactivate inactive accounts if your account happens to go inactive.


Password issues:

If you enter in three incorrect password attempts into HMIS, this will result in a one-hour account ban for security. If locked out, wait or contact HMIS for help. Use "Forgot Password" if needed. Safeguard login credentials and use them responsibly.


See images below for inactive or banned account messages.

Inactive Account

If you do not log into HMIS every 30 days, the system will automatically inactivate your account for security reasons. Contact HMIS to regain access.

Banned Account

If you accidentally fail to log in three times, HMIS will lock you out of the system for an hour. Either try again later or contact HMIS to help you regain access.
