Reset your password

Overview

This article explains how to reset the password for your company account.

Prerequisites

A personal (BYOD) or company device
A registered company account
Access to your registered email address
Access to the SMS service linked to your phone number

Steps

Go to the Sign-in page.
Enter your registered email or username, then select Forgot password.
Choose how you want to receive the one-time password (OTP): email or SMS.
Enter the OTP on the reset page.
Create and confirm your new password.
Check your inbox or SMS for a confirmation message. Your password has now been reset successfully.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Didn’t receive the OTP
Solution: Wait up to 30 seconds. Check spam/junk folders. If the OTP has expired (valid for 2 minutes), request a new one.

Problem: Entered incorrect account information
Solution: Verify that your email or username is correct and registered with the company.

Problem: Still unable to reset password
Solution: Contact your manager or HR personnel, the IT support team, or call 1-800-XXX-XXXX for 24/7 support.

Security notes

Do not share your password with anyone.
Use at least 8 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols.
Avoid predictable passwords such as your name or birthdate.
Enable two-step verification (2SV) for additional security.
