Fast Switch

If you have multiple Studycast usernames, you can request a fast switch, which allows you to switch between your usernames without logging in again. To request a fast switch, contact Studycast support. 

Your fast switch will be added to your usernames, and you will be sent a new temporary password that you can use to log in to any of your usernames. On your first login after the fast switch is created, you will be required to change the temporary password. When you change it, the Update password for fast switch accounts window is displayed. 

This window lists all of your usernames that are available with the fast switch and asks if you want to update the passwords for all of them. Click Yes, update passwords. 

To use your fast switch to access all of your usernames without entering a password each time you switch, you must sync the passwords for your usernames. In other words, the passwords for all of your usernames must be the same. 

Using Your Fast Switch

When you log into any username with a fast switch, a drop-down list of your usernames is displayed at the top right of the Studies page. To access a different username, select from this list. There is no need to log in again.

Managing Your Fast Switch Password

For your fast switch to work, you must keep the passwords for all of your usernames in sync. The passwords for different usernames will likely expire at different times. To keep your passwords in sync, you must change them before they expire.

To change your passwords:

1. On the Studies page, click Profile in the top right corner.
2. In the User Profile window, check the Change password box.
3. Enter your old password. This is the password you used to log into the Studycast system today.
4. Enter a new password that conforms to the security policy listed at the bottom of the window.
5. Enter the new password a second time to confirm.
6. Click Submit.
7. In the Update password for fast switch accounts window, click Yes, update passwords.

If the password on one of your usernames expires, contact Studycast support to have your passwords reset.
