SER Problems

As part of the effort to help employees maintain continued access to LDOE/SSD resources, the P-Synch website has been integrated into our login access for SER accounts. Each employee will need to follow the attached instructions to establish their own login security questions. This will allow for resetting of a password in a timely and controlled manner. The P-Synch account creation must take place before a password has expired.

In most cases this will eliminate the need to call for a LDOE Remedy Request or Help Desk response when a password is no longer working.

If you have questions or need help, please contact your Regional Coordinator.
