How to Change Your Password

A strong password is essential to keeping your SAM site secure. We recommend using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords, so you don't have to remember what it is.

To change your password:

1. Login to SAM.
2. Search and find your Person record (click the Person tab, search for your name, and click on your name to open your record).
3. Click Edit Login / Permissions on the sidebar.
   
   
4. On the Permissions page, click Reset Password below your login username.
   
   
5. SAM will prompt you to enter your current password and then enter your new password twice. 
   
   
   
6. Hit Save and you are good to go!

What is a strong password?

A strong password contains over 8 characters, several symbols, and no ties to your personal information (such as your name, birth year, child or pet's names, etc).

By adding numbers and special characters in addition to letters, a password will take exponentially longer for a hacker to guess.

Strong passwords can be difficult to remember, which is why we're often tempted to use the same one over and over again. This is a serious security risk - if one site that uses that password is hacked, an attacker could potentially use it to login to your SAM site.

For this reason, we recommend using a password manager to generate a randomized and secure password. Your browser has password managers built-in. Some free password managers include:

• LastPass
• KeePass
• EnPass
• 1Password

Forgot Your SAM Password?

Don't fret! If you've forgotten your SAM password, contact a SAM Lead for your organization. If a SAM Lead has forgotten their password, schedule a Consultation Call with SAM's Support Team at inreachsolutions.com/schedule.
