Change your Code42 password

Overview

This tutorial describes how to change your password, as well as how to request a password reset if you lose or forget your password.

Considerations

SSO and LDAP

If your company uses single sign-on (SSO) or LDAP, you cannot change your Code42 password because your existing SSO or LDAP username and password are used to sign in to Code42. Contact your system administrator if you need to change your SSO or LDAP password.

Secure passwords

Tips for creating a secure password

Passwords must be at least 8 characters. For stronger security, use 16 characters or more.
Passwords must have at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number. Special characters and symbols are also allowed.
Passwords can't contain spaces or 3 or more repeating letters, numbers, or characters.
Passwords shouldn't contain common words or phrases that are easily guessed (like "password" or "letmein").
Never reuse passwords. Don't use a password for Code42 that you use for any other online account.

Request a password reset

If you lose or forget your account password, you can request that it be reset.

Open a web browser and go to the password reset page. The address for this page differs depending on the URL you use to access the Code42 console:

Enter your username.
Click Reset Password.
Follow the password reset instructions sent to your email.

Select Actions > Edit account details.
