6 Do I require a username and password?
You will require a unique username and password to access the website. Your username and password will be provided by your employer upon hire. If you have not received a username and password, please contact your manager.
7 What type of password do I need to set?
You will be given an initial password and will be required to change it when you first log in to the system and every 90 days after that.
A valid password:
• must be at least 8 characters in length
• cannot be more than 32 characters in length
• Is a combination of alpha and numeric characters

• does not contain your username
• contains characters from 3 of the following 4 categories:
• English uppercase characters

To safeguard against unauthorized usage, the system locks if it detects five minutes of inactivity. If this occurs, an employee is prompted to once again log in to the system prior to continuing their activities.
8 What if I forget my password?
The initial password is set for you. After you have entered the system using your preset password, you will be required to change your password and enter a set of personal questions and answers. If you forget your password, the system will ask you these questions and require you to enter the answers to verify your identity. To safeguard against unauthorized individuals trying to determine an individual’s username and password combination through repeated trial and error attempts, the system will lock after seven failed attempts. The only way to unlock the website is to contact eHealth Saskatchewan at 1-888-316-7446, Monday to Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

13 If my employment is terminated, do I still have access to Gateway Online?

All other information on Gateway Online will not be available for you to update.
14 Why am I receiving a Root Certificate Error message when I try to log in to mygatewayonline?
