To reset your password from the login screen in Penelope your System Administrator must enable and configure the User Managed Password Reset feature.
Once enabled you can reset your password using your trusted device/s and a verification code (received by email or SMS). It is also possible to change your password from your Worker Profile. For further information click here.
Note: please be advised that you must choose a password that is different from your last 10 passwords. Also, should be a strong/stronger password for security purpose.
Important Information
When resetting your password it is important to remember the following:
There are a set number of PINs that can be generated on a daily basis for each Worker. If this number is exceeded it will not be possible to reset your password. For information on the maximum of PINs that can be generated each day contact your System Administrator.
Usernames are case sensitive. This is very important! If the incorrect username is entered you will not receive a PIN.
A verification code will be sent to your trusted device/s. Do not navigate away from this page until the PIN has been entered (if you do the PIN will not work). This includes awaiting PINs that are to be generated by your System Administrator.
There must be an email address under your Personal Message Settings to receive your PIN. So you can set your password and login for the first time this will be added by your System Administrator.
If you do not receive your PIN please check your Junk Mail.
