Reset Password Process on Mobile

Learn how to set a strong password, reset your password and unlock your account

Password security improves the security of SaferMe and protects our users and database. This is part of a wider security programme which detects, prevents and responds to cyber threats.

 

Password Requirements:

A strong password is required in order to successfully sign up to SaferMe. 

The signup form has:

  • Help text: “Use 8 or more characters with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols”
  • A password strength indicator. This changes progressively following a traffic light system. When the system recognises a satisfactory password, it will show “Strong” and will let users continue.
  • Icon to show or hide a password.

Tip: Password not strong enough? Try adding a symbol.  

 

How to unlock your account:

When incorrect log in details are entered in multiple times, the account will lock. After the account locks due to too many failed attempts the user will be required to reset their password. 

  • Go to SaferMe on a mobile or other device
  • Select 'Forgot password?'
  • Enter in your email address 
  • Open the email in your inbox
  • Click the code in the email
  • This will open SaferMe and pre fill the code that was clicked in the email
