Site Security Questions

Why is the system prompting me to trust this device again even though I have previously opted to trust it?

If you are using Internet Explorer (IE), please confirm the following settings:

  1. You must allow cookies to be stored on your trusted computer. Tools->Internet Options->Advanced
  2. "Delete browsing history on exit" should NOT be selected. Tools->Internet Options

Note: If you clear your cache/delete your cookies, you will be asked to re-authenticate.

What is the difference between "keep me logged in" and "trust this device"?

The keep me logged in feature keeps you logged into the ECRI Institute website so you do not have to continously add your e-mail and password. Trusting your device and entering your activation code registers your device in our system so that is recognized by our security protocols. We recommend that you only register computers that you use frequently and do not register public computers.

Why have I not received my activation code?

Please check your spam folder, and confirm that you are checking your ECRI-registered e-mail account.

If you still do not receive your activation code, please contact the ECRI Help Desk at (610) 825-6000 x5555 or helpdesk@ecri.org.

Will the ECRI site recognize more than one device?

Yes, you can trust more than one device. When you remember an additional device, the system will log you out of the first device, and you will be asked to repeat the activation process.

Will my ECRI password change?

​No, your password will remain the same.
