Auditor Passwords sent to the Treasurer

Dear Verlon,

I hope all is well for you and your Conference.

Here at Jewel we are constantly working on improving our product and also making it more secure for you.

The Jewel Auditor program for the Auditor's use now requires a password in order to get onto our server to retrieve the databases of your churches. For your improved control over that feature, it is important that you are the person who decides who receives a password. Then when a worker is no longer working for you, that password can be disabled. The unemployed worker may retain the program on their computer, but will not have access to all your church's databases.

This may not be a concern for you, and that is fine. But we offer this feature for your benefit. So you are free to handle this as you deem best. In the future, we will not be giving passwords directly to an Auditor.

Here are two logins and passwords. Login: sec1 Password: Higher-blue

Login: sec2 Password: mercy#placid

If you need more, just let me know.

All the best,

Clyde Jewel 352-326-0092
