Sign In Requirements
Users must have an OpenCCC account in order to access most CCC systemwide applications.
If a user doesn’t have an OpenCCC account, they will have easy access to the Create an Account link from the Sign In page.
Users must enter a unique email address or a unique mobile phone number during the account creation process, and validate that credential using a security code to verify their identity.
At least one of the two credentials used to create the account must be validated in order to sign in and/or recover an account.
If both credentials are validated, either one can be used to sign in and/or recover an account.
All users must create and confirm a password that meets security requirements.
All legacy users must reset their legacy password the first time they attempt to sign in.

If Your Email Address or Mobile Number IS Unique

While sign in credentials (attributes) must be unique to an individual, it is possible that an attribute (email or phone) was being shared with a family member in the legacy system. When this happens, the individual who signs in and validates the attribute first will take ownership of that attribute and it will be unique to their account. Any subsequent attempts to use that attribute by another user will trigger the duplicate account process described below. |

If Your Email or Mobile Number Has Not Been Validated
If the system detects that the email address or mobile phone number used to sign in has not been validated, the user is taken to the Password page and prompted to enter their password. If the password is identified, the user will be authenticated but required to validate the attribute they used to sign in.
...
The user is taken to the Edit Profile page to confirm that the attribute has been validated and verified. The user can then accept the attribute as the Preferred Method of Contact, or choose to verify a valid mobile phone number as the preferred method.
