Alternate Email Addresses and Forgot password/locked out? Functionality

E
Written by Ed Agner

Please review the Managing Lockouts video for a quick tutorial on how to unlock yourself!
​
 The easiest way to unlock your account is via the Forgot password/locked out? functionality.  Users must have an alternate email address saved within Web Control in order to use this feature.  The alternate email address is a separate email address which Web Control would send your temporary password should you ever find yourself locked out.
​
 Ideally, it is best to set your alternate email address as an address you would have access to at any time - e.g, an address tied to your smart phone which you can access from anywhere.
​
 To add or edit your alternate email address within Web Control: 

  • Go to the Settings page. 

  • If a Standard User, select Edit User.

  • If a Manager User, select List Users, then select yourself or any user in your account whose alternate email address needs added.

  • From the Edit Info section, input the separate email address in the Alternate Email Address field.

  • Click Update User.
