Changing Your Password
You need your current password for these steps.
Click your avatar in the sidebar and select User Settings.
In the Account Information card, click Change Password.
A modal opens with three fields:
- Current Password
- New Password
- Confirm New Password
Show or hide a password with the eye icon on its field.
Click Change Password to save. A success message appears and the modal closes.
The Change Password button appears only for accounts created with email and password. Signed up with Google or GitHub? See OAuth Accounts below.
Resetting a Forgotten Password
Visit dashboard.jamdesk.com and click Sign In.
Select the Forgot password? link below the password field.
Enter your account's email address. An address already typed on the sign-in form is pre-filled.
Click Send reset email. Open the password reset link in your inbox and follow the instructions.
Password reset links expire after 1 hour. Request a new one if yours has expired.
Password Requirements
Your password must be at least 6 characters long.
OAuth Accounts
Accounts created only with Google or GitHub have no Jamdesk password. The Change Password button doesn't appear in their account settings.
Set a password for your email address with the Forgot password? flow on the login page. You can then sign in with a password or with OAuth.
