About PIN V2.5

A new version (v2.5) of the PIN System will be released on June 10, 2009.

This release is focused on increasing the usability of the PIN System. Apart from some minor cosmetic changes, the system will incorporate 2 major, new features. Both features are in response to user feedback / request.

Support for multiple screen resolutions (BETA)

We plan to BETA test a solution that will improve usability for users when using the most popular mobile devices we see accessing PIN-based applications. Users using traditional browsers will see no changes as a result of this feature. However, if you access a PIN-protected website using one of these devices the PIN login site that will be presented will have a new look offering all the same functionality as the current login site.

Enhanced Sign-on

Users have expressed frustration that they start each morning by logging into multiple applications by repeatedly entering the same login/PIN information. At the same time, application owners have struggled with displaying collections of information from multiple PIN-based websites to their users who have to login multiple times to see it all. To make this simpler here’s what the new experience will be like:

  1. Once you log into an application, as long as you do not exit the browser, any other PIN based application can be accessed.
  2. You no longer have to select the “Auto-Login” button for this behavior. However, there is a check box on the page (”Remember Me”) that will let you stay logged in even after you exit the browser.
  3. Certain applications may decide to reduce or increase this access time. After having typed your credentials into the PIN application, if you spend more time to access another application than the access time specified by the application, PIN will ask you to re-enter your credentials.

We strongly encourage users to make sure you click Logout and/or close your browser when you leave your computer. This will ensure that the PIN System will ask for a username and PIN/password the next time a PIN-protected website is accessed.
