Is there some way to manually reset a user's password?
You can.. but it's a little tricky. You will need to have two browsers open - one with private mode enabled. The idea is to not have the two browsers able to share the same cookies/session.
Here is how to do it. Follow these steps carefully.
- Have yourself logged in as a staff user with one browser and stay on the email log screen. You will go there to grab the OTP as it gets created and sent.
- Open another private browser window (aka incognito mode), go to the portal login screen, and use the forgot password link.
- Enter the user's email address for which you want to change the password and click send one-time password.
- After the OTP is sent, switch to the other browser and refresh the email log. Open the sent email, and get the OTP that was sent.
- Go back to the private browser and login with the OTP you retrieved in the above step.
- You are now logged in as the user.
- Now.. to change their password, click the profile photo (top right) and click User Security.
- Click "Change Password" button.
- To change the password, you either need to know the current password, OR... you can request an OTP. You will opt for the latter.
- You will now request the OTP and retrieve it just like we did in step 4.
- Enter the OTP in the first field. Don't click anything yet.
- Generate a good secure password and enter that new password (twice), and finally save.
- Make note of this new password so you can provide it to the user.
- After saving, you should see a confirmation that the password was updated.
- You can now test the login by logging out and trying to login with the newly created password.
