 Why
does Travel-OnLine prompt me to change my
password after I just completed an online
registration and chose a password?
Changing your password is an option only.
For added security, you may choose to
change your initial password, restricting
access to your profile data for any authorized
travel coordinator or administrative manager
accessing the Travelport system. Perhaps
a travel coordinator set you us as a registered
user initially. While this person may
be the one who will book some of your
travel, you may not want that person to
have access to all of your information.
Having this "change password"
solves that. If you wish to retain your
original password, please enter it again
and continue on with completing your profile.
