Recover access by email ("I forgot my access details")
If you forgot your password or lost your factors, you can get a recovery link by email. It works only when your organization allows it for your account and your address is confirmed.
How do I ask for the link?
- On the sign-in page, fill in «Organization» and «Email».
- Open «I forgot my access details» and choose «Send recovery link».
- The answer is always the same, whether or not the account exists. If the address is verified, you receive a link valid for 15 minutes.
What do I do with the link?
- Open it in the browser. «Recover access» appears with «Choose how you want to recover access. The link can be used only once.»
- Choose:
- «Set a new password»: type the new password twice. Every session ends («Password set. All sessions were ended; sign in again.»). Your next sign-in still asks for the second factor.
- «Sign in to register a new passkey»: opens a 15-minute session to create a replacement passkey.
- You receive an email saying access was recovered.
If you lost your approver phone, choose the passkey: a new password is not enough, because the lost phone stays your second factor until it is removed.
Why don't I get the email?
- The address is not confirmed. See Confirm your email address.
- Your organization does not allow email recovery for your account (by default, administrators are excluded).
- The email went to spam.
- The service has no email configured: «Email recovery is not available on this service.»
Then use a recovery code or ask support for help.
The link does not work
«The link is invalid, has expired or was already used. Request a new link.» The link lasts 15 minutes and works once, and a new request cancels the previous one.
