Organizations can perform a collective, system-wide mandate that requires all Frontline users to update their password.
Enablement
This feature is available to all organizations who utilize the Frontline Insights Platform. Please contact Frontline Support to have it enabled.
Force Password Reset
Once implemented, Administrators can access the Manage User Access (MUA) page in their Frontline application and select Force Password Reset via the "Options" dropdown.
A confirmation will appear. Select Force Reset to force the password reset for all system users.
User Password Reset
Users will receive a password reset prompt the next time they attempt to log in to their Frontline application. The message states, "Your password has expired. Please select the Forgot Password link to set a new password."
The user will select "Forgot Password" and enter their username in the field that appears. This entry confirms the user's identity and prompts the system to relay a password reset link to the email found within the user's Frontline account.
The user will select the "Change Password" link contained within this email and will enter a new password using the Frontline password requirements.
