AEM WCMS:Setting/Changing Your Password
Recommendation
We recommend that you set your AEM password to match your MIDAS password. Whenever you change your MIDAS password, change your AEM password to match. This will eliminate the need to remember multiple passwords.
While your AEM author username is the same as your MIDAS ID, your AEM password is not automatically synced with your MIDAS password.
