Frequently Asked Questions

Is my personal information safe and who can see my information?
All of your information is safe and cannot be accessed by anyone that has not been invited to join Realm. You also can set your privacy to limit what members/friends see on the directory. While you can hide the majority of your information from most of the church, you should know that, regardless of your settings, contact data will still be visible to certain members of the church staff.
How do I set my privacy settings?
Log into Realm.
Click your name in the upper-right corner, and select My Profile.
Select a family member (if more than one).
On the Info tab, next to Edit Profile, click to the privacy icon.
Click Everyone for your Privacy setting - or use Custom Privacy to set them how you prefer. Remember, even if you choose Everyone, your information is only available to other OPC Realm users.
Click Save.
Regardless of your settings, your information can be seen by Staff.
Realm will not load on my computer. What do I do?
Make sure that you are using a compatible browser.
For best results, keep your browser updated to the latest version. We recommend using the latest version of any of the following internet browsers:
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari
  • If you want to check that you are using the latest browser go to whatbrowser.org to find out.
    Operating Systems: Some older operating systems cannot use the latest browser versions. If your operating system cannot use the latest version of your browser, update the operating system first. This will not only give you access to the best features in Realm, but will help ensure your security on the Internet. Out-of-date operating systems and browsers are far more vulnerable to attacks.
    How do I create a Secure Password?
    Your Realm password must be 8 or more characters long. There is no maximum limit on length. The longer a password, the more secure it is. Each additional character makes it exponentially harder to crack.
    It must also meet 3 of the following additional requirements:
  • Contain at least 1 uppercase character.
  • Contain at least 1 lowercase character.
  • Contain at least 1 symbol (!,@,#,$,%,^, etc.).
  • Contain at least 1 number.
  • Contain 15 or more characters.
  • Your password cannot:
  • Contain any 3-or-more-character sequence from your username or email. If, for instance, your username is JeffAnderson@jeffsemail.com, your password could not contain "jeff", "ander", etc.
  • Include 3 or more repeating characters (222, etc.)
  • Include 3 or more characters in sequence (123, 321, abc, etc.)
  • Where can I find more help?
    Visit Realm's online help section for more information on updating your information, adding your photo, viewing your giving information, viewing the online directory, getting updates on upcoming events, and lots more!
    If you have any questions or want to know more about Realm please feel free to contact either Lisa or Carol in the office and they will be more than happy to assist.
