If InfraNest suddenly asks you to set a new password before you can continue, don't worry — nothing is wrong with your account. This happens because a policy in your organization requires it.
Overview
- Your organization controls how often passwords must be changed and how strong they need to be.
- This prompt is a routine security measure, not a sign of a problem with your account.
- You'll be able to continue straight into InfraNest once you've set your new password — no separate sign-in needed.
Why this happens
- Your password has expired. Your organization sets how often passwords must change.
- An administrator required a reset — usually after a security review, or if a password may have been exposed.
- You were given a temporary password, and this is the moment you replace it with one of your own.
Change your password
- Enter your current password.
- Choose a new one that meets the rules shown on screen — these usually cover length and whether mixed characters are required.
- Select Save. You'll continue straight into InfraNest; no separate sign-in is needed.
TipLonger beats complicated. A passphrase of a few unrelated words is stronger and easier to type than a short scramble of characters — and don't reuse a password from another service. A password manager makes this easy, especially if your organization rotates passwords often.
Troubleshooting
It won't accept my new password
- "Must be different" — you've used this password before. Policies usually block reusing a recent password.
- It doesn't meet the rules — the requirements are listed on the screen; the most commonly missed one is minimum length.
- You've tried too many times — sign-in attempts are rate-limited, so wait a few minutes and try again.
I don't know my current password
NoteSign out and use Forgot password instead. That sends a reset link to your verified email address.
