New AFA Portal Login

Written by Admin | Oct 28, 2026, 3:18:49 PM

Dear Members,

Over the course of the last few days, our United AFA website has experienced outages that have affected the Membership being able to log into the website. Due to those outages, we are accelerating our transition to a new login portal. This system cutover took place on October 27, 2026 at 1700 Central Time, and lasted approximately 2 hours. With this transition to the new login portal, there will be some steps that you will have to take to ensure you can log into the website that are listed below:

Action Required: Setting Up Your New Password

When you access the website after today, you will be required to create a new password. While we made every effort to seamlessly transfer your existing login credentials, the previous system's limitations prevented us from exporting that data securely.

Where to Use Your New Login

Your new credentials will serve as your unified login for the United AFA MEC Website and our upcoming App.

Note: Access to MemberLink (for filing Local Council Worksheets) is temporarily unavailable due to the recent outages. We will connect MemberLink to this new login system as soon as those servers are back online.

New Features Coming Soon

Moving to this modernized login platform paves the way for an improved digital experience. While our accelerated timeline means we are starting with the basics today, we will be rolling out new features in the coming weeks, including:

  • Passwordless Logins: The ability to log in using biometric features like FaceID or TouchID.
  • Customization: User-defined website favorites on unitedafa.org so you can quickly access the resources you use most.
  • Faster Access for new Members: Our newest Members will have access to the resources on our website upon graduation, instead of weeks later under the current system

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these outages and work to improve our digital infrastructure.

If you have any questions about this transition, please reach out to your Local Council.

In Solidarity,

MEC Digital Technology Committee
