2 Usernames and Passwords

Every awareNet user receives their own private username and password to login to the network. Login details are handed out directly via email to the new learner or via a verified community coordinator. Login details are needed to access awareNet's pages with personal information, such as names, profile pages, comments, posts, etc. Only selected pages are viewable by non-users to present awareNet's content such as projects, in which case any personal information is hidden.

After receiving the first login details every users is asked to change their password immediately before entering any personal information. Regular changing of passwords enhances security. Passwords can be changed under My Account.
