Simplifying Triblink Login Process

On behalf of Tribune Technology, we want to make you aware of some important changes coming soon to TribLink, TribuneAtHome.com and most, if not all, of the company-wide applications accessible through them. These changes begin rolling out in two weeks with an overhaul of the login process. Later this year, we'll see the relaunch of TribLink on a more user-friendly platform, which will allow us to introduce a number of new features designed to make finding information easier and encourage more collaboration and employee self-service.

The initial phase goes live Sunday, September 18, when we will change the login process.

The way it works now, you have a username and password for TribLink and its related applications, and a different username and password for the network. Beginning on the 19th, TribLink credentials will be retired and you will need only your network credentials for everything. Your network credentials, to be clear, are what you use when you log in to your computer. Sometimes called your USA ID, they typically begin with: USA\. Applications will still prompt you to login, but you will use the same credentials for all of them. A complete list of the affected applications is attached at the end of this message.

There is one bit of housekeeping we need everyone to complete prior to the switch. If you will, please visit: http://password.tribune.com and create some security profile questions, or confirm the questions you may have already created. These security questions are required should you need to reset your password in the future. Without them, you would have to call the Help Desk for assistance. The security questions must be created before September 18th.

If you experience any login issues, please contact the Help Desk for assistance.

Thanks for your cooperation and look for more details about our TribLink relaunch in the coming weeks.
