Important: To help ensure Lumen Connect user profile(s) remain secure, here is how we actively clean up unused Lumen Connect user profiles:
- After six months without signing in, we'll deactivate your Lumen Connect user profile.
- After an additional six months without signing in, we'll delete your Lumen Connect user profile.
- We'll email you 30 days before deactivating or deleting your Lumen Connect user profile so you can sign in (if you still need your user account) and reset the counter for deactivation/deletion.
- If your user profile has been deactivated, your organization's Lumen Connect system administrator can reactivate your user profile.
- If your user profile has been deleted, your system administrator can recreate it for you. (Your old username may not be available.)
