Overview

This article provides information on how to reset a forgotten password, update an existing password, and provides best practices for FORTH CRM password security.

Prerequisites

• To manually resent a user's password, you need the "Edit Users" permission. If you cannot find someone, contact Support@setforth.com for assistance.
• If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO), password resets must be handled through your IT provider, not via this form.

If You Forgot Your Password (Login Screen)

If you are unable to access your account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your company’s unique Forth login URL (e.g., company.forthcrm.com).
2. Go to the particular portal, in this example debtfreeportal.com  (we recommend Google Chrome as your web browser).
3. If there is a Forgot Password? link, click that. Otherwise go to Step 4.
4. Enter the Email Address associated with the Forth user account when prompted.
5. You will receive an email message from noreply@setforth.com containing a secure login link that is active for ten (10) minutes. Click the secure link within that time frame to access the portal.

6. Enter a new password that meets the security requirements listed in the Forth CRM Password Requirements section of this article.
7. Once you are successfully logged in, the system will prompt you to create a new permanent password.

How to Change an Existing Password (Inside the App)

To update your password while currently logged in:

1. Log in to the Forth CRM.
2. Click on the Profile & Settings dropdown menu at the top right of the page, 
3. Click Change Password (see image below).
   
4. The Change Your Password window appears.

Resetting your password (Admin)

2. Click the right arrow icon to the far right of their name.
3. The Edit User page then opens, now go to the User Login Information section (see image below).
   
4. Click the Require Password Change at Next Login checkbox. This is more secure than manually entering a password for the user.
