General Description

To save your Favorite Documents, Document History, and Saved Searches you can create a personal profile account.

Your account will remain until 90 days have passed since you used your profile login.

 

 

 

Create a Profile

If you do not yet have a profile, click on "Your Profile" at the top left of the site and:

1.  enter a username,
2.  select "I want to create a new account"
3.  press the "Proceed" button

On the next page, enter a password in the boxes provided.  In the Password Hint box, type a word or phrase that will help you remember your password.  See Password Hint for more information on this feature.

Log on to a Profile

If you have already created a profile, please enter your username and password to reload your saved information. If you have an account but can't remember your password, click on "I forgot my password" to retrieve your password hint.

Password Hint

When you set up a username and password, you will be asked to provide a "Password Hint."  This should be a word or phrase (other than the password) that will help you to remember your password should you forget it.

If you have an account but can't remember your password, enter your username, click on "I forgot my password" and press "Proceed."  The information you entered in the "Password Hint" field will appear on the screen above the username field in red.

Profile Expiration

The 'Your Profile' accounts remain in the system until 90 days have passed since you used your profile login.

Profile vs. Main Account

The 'Your Profile' login is a sub account within the main account purchased by your Library or Institution.  This means that although 'Your Profile' accounts contain information that can only be accessed using the username and password that you selected, the 'Your Profile' login information will only be available if you log into the CQ Public Affairs Collection from the same main account.
