Admin: Password Reset & Username Recovery Emails

  • Dark
    Light

Article Summary

As an administrator, you can send password reset and username recovery emails directly from nVoq.Administrator to users who forget their password or username for nVoq products. Users can also reset their own passwords or retrieve their own username using the Forgot Username or Password link on the sign in screen.

If your Admin Role is "Read Only" or "Shortcut Designer" you will not have the ability to do this.
If you have forgotten your own password or username, see Forgot Username or Password


Send Password Reset Emails

If a user has forgotten his password, a Customer Administrator can send an email directly from nVoq.Administrator which includes a URL from which the user can reset his own password. You can send these emails to one user or to multiple users at a time.

If a user attempts to reset the password but enters an incorrect username, the user will see a message stating, "I am sorry, your password could not be reset." This error most commonly occurs when the wrong username is entered (for example, the user may think the username is their email address when in fact it’s something else).
