Didn’t Receive WAEC/GCE Registration PIN after purchase? Here’s What to Do

When you buy WAEC/GCE registration PIN from VTpass, you enjoy instant PIN delivery to your phone and email; immediately after payment.

Registration PIN is equally displayed on VTpass web or app once delivered. You can simply screenshot this information or write it down.

However, in very rare circumstances where did not receive PIN in your text or email inbox, a number of reasons might be responsible for this:

Payment hasn’t been received at our end and so the value hasn’t been delivered
We’ve sent you an email but it delivered in your spam folder
We’ve sent you a text but it didn’t deliver because your line is on Do-Not-Disturb (DND) service
Your phone is switched off or unreachable as at when sending you the text
Network issues caused a delay in delivery of either mail or text

For any of the reasons above, there are steps you can take to resolve them before transferring a request to VTpass support.

What to do when PIN is not delivered instantly

We advise you to wait for an hour after payment. This would allow our system and third party merchants to work out payment before PIN is delivered.

If you didn’t receive our PIN via mail, kindly check your spam folder

If PIN didn’t deliver via text, it might be that your line is on DND. You would need to deactivate yourself from DND. To check if your line is on DND, text STATUS to 2442. To opt-out of DND, text ALLOW to 2442. Alternatively, you may contact your network provider to deactivate.

Always ensure that your phone is switched on when making payment. Although some messages deliver when you finally switch on your mobile, it’s recommended to leave it on.

When network downtimes get in the way, there is really little we can do until the issue clears. You would receive registration PIN immediately the network is stable.

How to Create Strong Passwords and Never Forget

Back in the days when we needed little internet activity, you could use your birthday or mom’s address as a password; that was perfectly acceptable. There was no need to create strong passwords or use many of the techniques available today.

Nowadays, with our ever-expanding reliance on the internet for quite a number of things; the best password is one that’s hard to crack and easy to remember.

However, the most commonly used passwords are ridiculously easy to guess. According to a study by Troy Hunt, 25% of password users use passwords that can be found in a dictionary such as “password” or “pencil”.

To protect your online accounts from cybercrimes; here are a few tricks you can use to create strong passwords that are easy to remember:

1. Use initials of a phrase or statement familiar to you

Assuming you have a phrase that always pops up in your head every now and then; for example, “It is what it is”, a password can be IiWiI or iiWII, etc, using the initials of the phrase. However, you might want to add special characters or numbers to strengthen it. No, don’t use your birthday. Instead think of a favorite number or any combination you can easily remember: IIWii%8#, perfect!

2. Rearrange a famous name or familiar word

So you’re a big fan of Lionel Messi or Wizkid or the word “Business” just makes sense to you; why not rearrange these words, say issemlenoil or ssenisub? Even at that, your password is not strong enough, you can apply toggle letters, special characters, and numbers. For example, Business becomes 33eN!sUb and Wizkid becomes K!83iW

3. Use end letters of a favorite song, phrase or whatever

This is similar to our first technique, but this time you’re making use of end-letters. If you love Beyonce’s “Who run the world – Girls!”, nothing stops you from making sdeno! your password. As always, include numbers, special characters, or any other combination. Check this out: on3DsWr7wG100%. I just used end letters plus initials to create that password. A hacker is going to have a real hard time cracking that!

4. Attach different end codes to one password

If you love keeping it simple and can only deal with one password at a time; then we recommend attaching different codes to the end of your password for different online accounts. This is pretty easy to do. Using K!83iW as an example, you can use K!83iWfB for Facebook; K!83iWgM for your Gmail; K!83iWtW for Twitter, etc. Always ensure the combinations are easy to remember but difficult to guess.

5. Use a Password Manger

A Password Manager is an application that stores all your passwords in one place. There are several password managers out there; some perform the sole function of storing your passwords while others equally generate strong passwords when you need them.

If you install a Password Manager on your computer or phone, all you need do is create a master or base password (using any of the techniques above) which would secure the Password Manager; the password manager takes care of generating or storing subsequent passwords you use.

You can download best password managers from Google PlayStore or AppStore for mobiles; or install system password managers such as LastPass on your computer.

6. Update your password regularly

When it comes to top account security, the ultimate advice is to regularly update your passwords at calculated intervals. This is usually the hardest part. Here are a few techniques for updating your password:

Update only your master password (this is easier if you are using a password manager)
Update all your passwords by changing a letter or character or changing their positions
Add the current date of the change to passwords when updating

We hope this helps someone out there get better at creating passwords. Be sure to apply some of these when creating your VTpass password. If you’ve lost or forgotten your VTpass password, learn how to retrieve it right away.

WORDS MADE BY GREAT PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR TEACHERS

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well- Alexander the Great
Let us remember: One pen, one book, one child and one teacher can change the world- Malala Yousafzai
I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without my fourth-grade teacher, Mrs Duncan- Oprah Winfrey.
is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy and creative expression and knowledge- Albert Einstein
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness- Stevie Wonder
Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges- Joyce Meyer
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important… If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school- Bill Gates
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching- Aristotle
A world of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life- John Maxwell
loved the law school classroom: the stripped-down nature of it, the high-wire act of standing in front of a room at the beginning of each class with just blackboard and chalk, the students taking measure of me, some intent or apprehensive, others demonstrative in their boredom, the tension broken by my first question — “What’s this case about?” — and the hands tentatively rising, the initial responses and me pushing back against whatever arguments surfaced- Barrack Obama.
