Signing in with a Password

You sign in to the panel with your e-mail address and your password. The Sign in link on the public site or the /en/login address opens the sign-in screen.

1. Fill in the E-mail address and Password fields.
2. If you are on your own device and want to stay signed in, tick Remember me.
3. Press Sign in.
4. If two-factor authentication is on for your account, enter the 6-digit code from your app in the Verification code field and press Verify.

When you have finished, sign out with the Sign out link in the user menu. If the system administrator has turned them on, you can also sign in with ORCID or with your institution account.

Remember me and session length

If Remember me is not ticked, your session ends when you close the browser or after 12 hours at the latest. If you tick it, the session stays open on this device even when you close the browser. In a default installation this period is 14 days, and the session still ends if you do nothing for 3 days. Your choice also applies when you sign in with ORCID or an institution account. Do not tick this box on shared computers.

When your session ends, the panel opens the sign-in screen, and the message "Your session has ended. Sign in again to continue." appears. When you sign in again, you return to the screen you were working on.

Password rules

Your password must be at least 10 characters long. It must not be easy to guess and must not contain your e-mail address. Every screen where you set a password lists these rules below the field.

Failed sign-ins

In a default installation, the account is locked for 15 minutes after 5 failed attempts in a row, and you receive an e-mail. Wrong codes entered in two-factor authentication also count towards this number.

If you have forgotten your password, follow the steps in Resetting Your Password. If you cannot sign in, see I cannot sign in or my account is locked.
