Members with shared email address
The following method can also be used to help setup new members who have visual, co-ordination or other challenges.
Members with a shared (or no) email address
The Toastmasters International website requires members to have a unique email address. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the member without an email address get their own email address via a free provider (gmail, yahoo, outlook etc). Sometimes, ISPs allow one account to have several email addresses or sub-accounts, which is another option.
If the member chooses not to get their own email address, then you can assign a password.
- Enter your (the admin) email in the member's record.
- Save
- Logout as admin
- Authenticate member as normal, click on the authorization link in the member authorization email and and create a password.
- Logout as the member
- Login as Admin and remove your email address from the member's record.
- Give the password to the member.
Be aware that if the member forgets the password, you will need to go through the process again.
Members who have visual, co-ordination or other issues
Use the method above, with the following variation:
When you remove your email address, instead of leaving the field blank, insert the new member's email address in its place, and save.
