Login Options Index  

When you login (as Teacher or Admin, not TA) you have two options:

Login automatically on this computer — Lets you access your account without requiring a password the next time you go to SnapGrades.com. This is convenient for your home computer, but do not use this on any computer where students might have access. This option is reset if you change your password.

Logout if idle __ minutes — Requires you to enter your password each time you use SnapGrades, so it is more secure. This is the default setting. Note the time limit is minutes since you last switched pages, not minutes since you logged in, so it's normal to set it low, like 5 or 10 minutes.

Your system admin may set a maximum timit, e.g., to prevent you from selecting more than 15 minutes. See the page in Admin Mode.

Troubleshooting: If you keep getting logged out before the time limit, try deleting your cache.

Forgot Password/Username — Click this button on the login screen if you forget your password or username. It prompts you to enter your username or email. If the username is valid, or the email address matches your account, it sends you your username and a link to reset your password. (For security, your password is never emailed to you.) Once you login you can always change your password or username on the page.

Security Alerts — If someone logs into your account from a computer or browser you've never used before, SnapGrades automatically sends you a security alert. (If your computer always deletes cookies, it will send a false alert every time you login, so you may turn off this option on the page.)
