The UMID is a crucial part of moving toward a single-sign-on system that will reduce the number of
passwords and logins each user must remember and maintain.
What is a UMID?
The UMID is a unique username created by the user on the UMB Account Management Site. The UMID must be between three and 20 characters in length and can contain:
- Letters (uppercase or lowercase)
- Numbers
- Underscore _
- Dash -
- Period .
However, the UMID cannot:
- Start or end with a space

NOTE: If this is the first time you are logging into your UMB Account, the system will walk you through the process of creating your UMID, secret question, secret answer, security image, security phrase, and your Password.
