Help - Sign Up for User ID

Close this window

Overview

The Sign Up for User ID process lets you create a new User ID and Password. You don't have to do this if you already have one for other Texas Workforce Internet applications. This page collects your basic personal information and allows you to choose the Logon and Security Information that you want.

Tips

  • You can use the same User ID and Password for most Texas Workforce Internet applications. If you already have a User ID for one of these applications and want to use it for this one too, then logon using that User ID and Password. You may be asked for additional information.
  • You will use the User ID that you create on this page every time you logon to this application. The Password you create will need to be changed periodically - every 180 days.
  • The Security Information you create will be available to help you if you forget your Password. Answering your Security Questions correctly will allow you to create a new Password and logon to the application.
