 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.
