If your browser doesn’t support the level of security required, you’ll see a notice asking you to obtain a new version of the browser, with links to the appropriate download locations. The server won’t transmit sensitive data over a connection that’s not secure, so until you upgrade, you won’t be able to access the Registered/Account Services section of www.emerson-ept.com.

What steps can I take to maximize security? To Top
Choose your password carefully. The ideal password is easy for you to
remember and impossible for others to guess.
Some tips:
- Select a password with a minimum of 6 characters in length.
- You may want to have a mixture of letters and numbers in the password -- using a mixture is best.
- Avoid words that can be found in a dictionary.
- Don't use anything someone else could guess easily, such as your own or a family member's name, birth date, address, social security number, or phone number.
- Memorize your password.
- Only you will know the password; don't write it down or give it to anyone else.
- Log off when you've finished with a session.
