Want an IEEE Web Account? Forget
your web account password?
Want an IEEE Web Account? Forget your web account password? An IEEE web account allows you to renew your membership online, update your member records automatically online, and to make purchases at the IEEE Online Store as an IEEE Member. You can set-up a web account, or retrieve the username or password from your existing web account at www.ieee.org/webaccounts. Update your Member Record Online You can now update your member record online, including your name, address, e-mail, and telephone. Next time you get an IEEE mailing with your name or street spelled incorrectly, you can hop onto the web page and fix it right up. You will need an IEEE web account in order to take advantage of this service. The site address for updating your member record online is: http://www.ieee.org/membership/coa.html Just say no to complicated e-mail addresses- get an IEEE E-mail Alias (and free virus-scanning) The IEEE now offers an Alias Service in which IEEE members can register or update a personal alias of their choice (subject to availability and on a "first come, first serve" basis). Messages addressed to the alias@ieee.org will automatically be forwarded to the real Internet e-mail address. So, whereas your e-mail address before may have been J1277abc@xyzprq.com, with the IEEE Personal E-mail Alias, you can be j.doe@ieee.org. Our virus-scanning feature helps prevent you from receiving viruses in the first place. Attachments within your e-mail that are sent to your IEEE e-mail alias will be scanned for viruses. If a virus is found, the attachment will be deleted. An alert is then sent to both the sender and recipient. While the IEEE cannot guarantee that every virus will be found, the virus scanning software is updated daily with a current virus recognition file. A service like this typically costs $30 per year, but as an IEEE member, it is yours FREE of charge. When you change Internet service providers, or jobs, you can change the e-mail address to which your e-mail is forwarded.
