TickerFactory.com does not use any registration system or ask for any personal identification (such as email address). Tickers using data that needs updating (weight loss, exercise...) only require you to know the ticker web address and the PIN protecting the modifications to its data. The PIN prevents unwanted modification of the ticker while allowing you to keep the same web address for your ticker.

Your personal number (PIN) is initially set as your birth date, using the MMDDYY format. If you don’t remember your current PIN, you must request a new PIN in person at the BCC Student Service Center in B125 on the main campus or the main desk at North Campus. Your personal number (PIN) is initially set by Human Resources and is different than your student PIN. If you don't remember your current PIN, please contact Human Resources at (425) 564-2274.

When requesting a PIN, you'll need to provide your name, Social Security Number, date of birth, and mailing address, and submit your request. After that information has been verified with the Social Security Administration's records, a PIN will be generated. If you provide an e-mail address, you'll get an e-mail response in approximately three business days that contains a link to your PIN through the Internet.

If you have lost or forgotten your PIN, you will need to request that it be sent to you again. If you think that someone else may know your PIN, or you believe your PIN may have been compromised when it was lost, we can generate a new PIN for you.

A PIN code is an alpha/numeric character made up of from 4 to 7 characters that a company or consultant creates for themselves. This code becomes your electronic signature when filing an application through RADIUS. The PIN code is case sensitive, therefore always use upper case for any alpha characters.

For added security, the requirements for the secret PIN will be strengthened. New restrictions will exclude PINs that consist of all consecutive numbers (ex: 123456 or 987654), PINs which consist of all the same number (ex: 111111), and PINs that contain alternating numbers (ex: 151515 or 808080).

On or about February 1, 2004, prior filers will receive, at the address of record, a PIN (with accompanying Access Instructions) to log in and test the system. Note that plan administrators who have multiple plans will only receive one PIN since you only need to establish one account to file for one or multiple plans. New filers can request a User PIN (to be sent by postal mail) at www.askebsa.dol.gov/mewa/.
