An important update about your Blue Light Card account
We take member privacy and data protection very seriously here at Blue Light Card.
As part of our ongoing commitment to this, we’ve made improvements to our login processes and updated our password policy.
Don’t worry, this blog explains everything you need to know, including:
• Our updated login processes
• Our updated password policy
• If you need to change your password
• How to change your password
• How to contact us if you have any issues
What is the updated login process?
Our tech team has introduced an even more secure login process.
Combined with our new password policy, this improves member security and protects the discounts you love.
When logging in, it says auth.blcshine.io – is this Blue Light Card?
Yes. That’s us.
Why has Blue Light Card introduced a new password policy?
By protecting your account with a stronger password, it’s less vulnerable to any malicious activity.
If your password does not meet the strong password policy criteria below, you won’t be able to log in until you change it.
What is a strong password?
This is a password that contains all of the following:
• One uppercase letter
• One lowercase letter
• One special character from this approved list: @ $ ~ # % & ! * ? ^ -
• One number
• A minimum of 10 characters
• No more than two repeated characters in a row
If your password contains all of the above right now, you don’t need to change it.
Before I change my password, is there anything else I need to know?
When resetting your password, it will log you out of any other devices you might be using.
Remember to save the new password so you can easily log back in on those devices.
