New log in March 24

[AirCia]

I'm already registered and been using Canvas for while. Do not need 'new registration' on March 24th. But it seems there are no choices. Would a 'new registration' means a new account, therefore I'll lost access to my current account? I have about 3 years-worth of work. Please inform whether I'd need to download and save this work elsewhere.

Hi @AirCia,

It should just be a new user interface for the login screen.  I believe if everything goes as planned, your login info, url, etc will not change at all.  You'll just see a refreshed visual look.

Yeah, it's probably good practice to announce the change in advance (so users don't think it may be phishing, or that they are in the wrong place when they are asked to put in their passwords in a new interface), but Instructure's messaging could probably be better, since there are a few similar questions like this one.

My log in information is saved on my computer.   Can this saved information still be used or will I need to type in my log in information?

Hi @appmrsg ,

Your information will still be able to be used and it will be saved. The only difference will be how the page looks visually.

Best,
Noah
