7. Unplugging and relocating your computer should not create any disruptions.

The reason I say that is - I moved recently, and that was my experience.

The only thing that you will need to do is match your computer to a new internet provider (cable or VZ, for example). When you do that you will need the password for your cable or internet service - easy. Whoever connects your cable will show you where to find the password - usually on the back of the router.

If and when you get a new computer, you will need to sign back in to DU. At that time you will need your password. But, if you can't find your password, I believe you can have DU send you an email to reset your password.

Do you have Smart phone? If you want to make sure you can still interact w/ DU, while in the chaos of a move - you can sign into DU from your Smart phone also. If you find your password, go ahead and try it - if it works...you know you found the right password. Then DU will recognize that device, as well. With usernames and passwords, it's all about recognizing the device.

If anything I explained doesn't make sense, feel free to DM me. I am glad to provide more detail in the answers. Mr. Dahlia and I relatively user friendly with this stuff. We have to be - we're old...and we don't have kids or grandkids.

Good luck with the move!
