Error: "You must set Contact Information prior to changing your password" in eRaider Account Manager


Symptoms

You receive the following message in eRaider Account Manager when trying to access the eRaider Password screen:

You must set Contact Information prior to changing your password

example screenshot

You are unable to access the screen in eRaider Account Manager to change your password.

Cause

On March 12, 2017, the eRaider Account Management System (eRAMS) was upgraded to implement the collection of contact phone numbers for account holders. This contact information will be used to verify account holders during account recovery procedures, and be used for two-factor authentication with some eRaider web-authenticated resources. All eRaider account holders will be required to supply eRAMS with a contact phone number.

Resolution

No one at Texas Tech University or from anywhere else should ask for your password.

Please see How to: Update your eRaider contact phone number to add a contact number.

NOTE: If you do not have a non-TTU or non-TTUHSC phone number, please view this list of other options.


OUTCOME

You will no longer receive the message stating that you must supply a contact phone number.
