Overview

The AT&T Toolbar serves as a point of "common access" to AT&T applications. After entering your user ID and password to logon to the Toolbar, you may access all applications on the Toolbar without logging on again. In order to obtain a user id and password, contact AT&T Customer Support and request a Toolbar User ID Request Form.

 

Logging onto the Toolbar

In order to access the Toolbar through your web browser, go to the web address provided to you by your account representative. When the logon screen is displayed, type in your user id and password. For security reasons the password is not displayed on the screen. Select the OK button to initiate the logon process.

If you enter the password incorrectly, a message will be displayed and you may try again. If three (3) consecutive attempts fail, then the Toolbar exits automatically and your user ID will be revoked. If you do not remember your password, you may call AT&T Customer Support for assistance.

If your password has expired, a message will be displayed and the change password window will appear to allow you to change your password.

If your user id has been revoked, a message will be displayed and the Toolbar will exit. In this event, call AT&T Customer Support to have your user id reinstated.

After you have logged on successfully, a toolbar will be displayed with buttons for each AT&T application to which you have been granted access. On the main login page, you will be displayed application news items (if any) for each AT&T application to which you have been granted access. You will also be displayed system status items (if any) related to system availability, outages, etc.

In addition, options, help , Recent News, System Status and exit buttons will be displayed.

 

Changing Password

The Change Password window is displayed at logon when your password has expired or when change password is selected from the options menu. In order to change your password, enter your old password and then enter the new password twice in order to verify that it was entered as intended. For security reasons the passwords will not be displayed on the screen. If an invalid password format is entered, a message will be displayed, and you may attempt to change your password again.

 

Password Format

  • A valid password must be 8-20 characters in length and contain at least one letter.
  • It must also contain at least one digit (0-9) in a position other than the first or last character; it may additionally contain a number in the first and/or the last position if desired.
  • A valid password cannot contain a space or a tab character and may not be completely blank.
  • It must not contain the user's complete user ID.
  • The same character cannot occur in three consecutive positions in the password.
  • The password must differ from the user ID by at least three positions.
  • The new password must differ from the previous password by at least two positions.
  • Passwords may not be reused for at least six (6) months.
  • A user can not change their password within seven (7) days of the last change.

 

Expired Password

The Toolbar requires that you change your password at least once a month. If it has been at least 60 days since you changed your password, you will receive a message when you log in requesting that your change your password before continuing.
