Reset Password
Reset Password is the page the emailed reset link opens. It is the only place a password can be changed without knowing the old one, which is why it is reachable solely through a link OSOSS sent to your registered address.
Set the new password
- Open the link from your reset email. The one-time token travels in the link, so do not retype the address by hand - copy the link or click it.
- Enter the Email on your account. It must be the same address the link was sent to, or the reset is rejected.
- Enter the New Password and repeat it in Confirm Password.
- Click Submit. On success you are returned to the sign-in page, where you use the new password.
Password rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Length | At least 8 characters. |
| Composition | At least one lowercase letter and at least one digit. |
| Confirmation | The two fields must match exactly, or the second one shows a mismatch message. |
Each rule is checked as you submit and the failing field explains itself in place. Nothing is sent until every rule passes, so a rejected form has changed nothing on your account.
When the reset is refused
The token is single-use and expires 60 minutes after the email was sent. A link that is expired, already used, or paired with a different email address fails, and the page reports the error rather than silently doing nothing. In that case go back to Forgot Password and request a fresh link - your existing password is still valid until a reset actually succeeds.
