Immi Account Details

Your Immi User Name and Password are encrypted and saved within Migration Manager so when you wish to download the latest Legendcom Forms, Migration Manager can use these details to Automatically log into Immi/Legendcom and download the Forms. If you change your Immi Password, your password will also need to be updated in Migration Manager.

You can also change the download timeout if your site experiences slow internet.

Note: If you use this same Immi Account for eLodge, you will also want to also change your password in eLodge. See: Updating your Immi Password for eLodge
