This week our background screening partner TazWorks updated the password requirements for the instascreen background screening portal. New portal login credentials must meet the following criteria:

• Minimum 12 characters
• Contain at least one letter
• Contain at least one special character
• Contain at least one digit

As always, we recommend not only using strong passwords, but utilizing the multifactor authentication option on the instascreen portal. The MFA tab under My Profile will allow you to enter a cell phone number to receive an authentication code from instascreen to confirm your identity upon login. This is the most secure method for protecting your companies, and your potential hires information.

In order to comply with the new requirements, we have several resources that will show you how to update your password.

1.    Watch our how-to video
