Forms: Password Reset

To complete a successful password reset, a user must select and answer a specific security question.

Note that users are configured to use one of the password policies that you set up. Password policies that allow password resets also have configured properties to set the maximum time that can elapse before the embedded email link expires. Also they specify the maximum number of security question/answer attempts allowed before locking down the password reset functionality for this user.

If the security question is answered correctly and the new password/confirmation password entered match and agree with the corresponding password strength conditions of the underlying password policy, then the users password is successfully reset/changed.

Note

If you use the same username and password to log in to several different applications, PhixFlow may be using a centralised authentication system. It is also possible that your administrator has configured PhixFlow:

  • so that you do not have the option to reset your password 
  • without providing an email address for you
  • without setting up a System Email Address that PhixFlow can use to send emails to your IT support team.

In these cases, or you have any problems when resetting your password, please contact your system administrator or company IT support team to reset your password.

To reset your password, your account must already have:

  • all three security question and answers set.

If you have problems resetting your password, contact your administrator for help.
