Accessing DFAS MyPay and the Fog of War!
New login procedures...Really?! Realllllyy!
I can't believe it now is actually easier to go through the AF Portal to get your LES.
Enter your SSAN.
- Enter your PIN using a mouse-enabled Java keyboard (to deter key-loggers)
- Choose a new login (you cannot use a 10-digit number that can be easily guessed since we use last-4 all the time)
-- use the mouse-enabled java keyboard to do so.
If I haven't mentioned it yet, the keyboard is not Qwerty... but a random series of letters to again thwart key-loggers. The letters and numbers randomly appear on the screen in different locations.
- Choose a new password (instead of the 4-digit pin).
-- You cannot use your last PIN, any part of your SSAN, any of your last 10 passwords. You must use at least 1 letter, 1 number and a special character. The password must be at least 8 characters long but not more than 16.... using the virtual keyboard.
- Confirm your password using the virtual keyboard.
And the additional kick in the b@lls: AF Portal will be unavailable unless you have a CAC reader. No CAC for Mac yet.. I should go back to hard copy LES. However, I bet they will put the kabosh on hard copies anyway!
