# How to Claim Your Account

### **Overview of Account Claiming**

---

Claiming a RapidIdentity account is a process which involves the following:

1. Proving ownership of the account via a claim code
2. Agreeing to the SBLSD's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
3. Setting a new password
4. (*Optionally*) Setting challenge questions which are used in the event you forget your password.

### **Claim Codes**  


---

A claim code is a token which the owner of the account has knowledge of and is used to prove that the person accessing an account is the owner of it. For SBLSD accounts, the claim code is based on your employee ID or student ID.
