Introduction
Forgot your password? You can easily create a new password yourself from the login screen. There is no need to contact your administrator or support to regain access.
In this article you will learn how to request a new password, what to do if you do not receive the email, and what to be aware of if your organisation uses Single Sign-On (SSO).
Does your organisation use Single Sign-On (SSO) and do you log in with your organisation's credentials? In that case you cannot create a new password via the intranet. Read more about logging in with SSO here.
How does ‘Forgot password’ work?
When you request a new password, you will receive an email containing a unique link. Use this link to set a new password. The link is valid for a limited time only — if it has expired, simply request a new one.
- Reset via the login screen (recommended): the fastest way to regain access to your account.
- SSO users: your password is managed by your organisation and cannot be reset through the intranet.
Requesting a new password
Follow the steps below to create a new password:
- Go to the login screen and select Log in with email and password.
-
Click Forgot password.
- Enter the email address for which you want to create a new password.
- Click Send. You will receive an email containing a link to create a new password.
- Open the email and click the link. Enter your new password twice and confirm.
- You can now log in with your new password.
Choose a strong password of at least 8 characters, containing a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and a special character. Do not reuse a password from another website.
Troubleshooting
I haven't received an email
- Check your Spam or Junk folder.
- Make sure you entered the correct email address — use the email address linked to your account.
- Wait a few minutes and request a new reset link if needed.
The link in the email no longer works
- The link has limited validity. Request a new link from the login screen.
- Open the link in the same browser where you submitted the request.
I don't remember my email address
Contact your administrator.
I see a message saying my account uses SSO
Your organisation uses Single Sign-On. You need to change your password via your organisation, not through the intranet. Read more about logging in with SSO here, or contact your IT department.
