We’re planning to upgrade the ECHO Identity Management tools on 7/21/19.

This will impact your ability to reset your password during the maintenance window.  All other services and functionality will remain untouched.

You’ll notice a new and improved interface when using ECHO Identity Management, including a cleaner CAPTCHA image.
