Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD: Switching off the old sign in system

Since November of last year we've been upgrading all the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's blogs, message boards and communities to a new sign in system: Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD.
And we've been getting your feedback along the way. It's been a big task but I think it's gone well. We have now upgraded all the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's social media services.
So on Monday of next week, we'll be turning off the old system (called SSO) completely.
If you have an SSO account and haven't upgraded it to a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD as yet then please read on.
You'll still be able to upgrade to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD from an existing SSO account for a few more weeks. However, as a result of turning off the old system, the password reset in SSO will no longer work. From next week on, if you don't know your SSO password then you'll have to create a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD account from scratch.
Most people with active SSO accounts have migrated in the last few months. There are a few services such as Children's and Learning that migrated to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD more recently, whose users are more likely to be affected.
So if you haven't upgraded from SSO to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ iD then please do so now. And if you know anyone who hasn't upgraded, give them a nudge.
Nick Reynolds is Social Media Executive, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Online.

Won't be many pundits this season if this is not sorted.
