If you don't use Single Sign-On (SSO) to access your Opensense account, you can easily reset your password directly through the Opensense login portal. This guide is specifically for users who log in with an email and password combination rather than through an SSO provider.
Who This Guide Is For
This password reset process applies to you if you:
- Log in directly to Opensense with your email and password 
- Don't use SSO (Single Sign-On) through providers like Google, Microsoft, or Okta 
- Have a standalone Opensense account 
Note: If your organization uses SSO for authentication, you'll need to reset your password through your SSO provider's system instead. Contact your IT administrator if you're unsure which method you use.
Step-by-Step Password Reset Instructions
Step 1: Navigate to the Login Page
Open your web browser and go to accounts.opensense.com. This is the central hub for managing your Opensense account credentials.
Step 2: Enter Your Email Address
On the login page, enter the email address associated with your Opensense account in the email field. After entering your email, click the Next button to proceed.
Step 3: Select the Forgot Password Option
Instead of entering your password, look for and click the Forgot Password link. This is typically located near the password field or below the sign-in button.
Step 4: Check Your Email
Opensense will send a password reset email to the address you provided. Check your inbox for an email from Opensense with instructions for resetting your password. If you don't see it within a few minutes, be sure to check your spam or junk folder.
Step 5: Create Your New Password
Click the password reset link in the email you received. You'll be directed to a page where you can create a new password. Your new password must meet Opensense's security requirements:
- Minimum 7 characters in length 
- At least 1 uppercase letter 
- At least 1 lowercase letter 
- At least 1 digit (number) 
- At least 1 special character (such as !, @, #, $, %, etc.) 
Choose a strong, unique password that you haven't used for other accounts to maximize your security.
Step 6: Sign In with Your New Credentials
Once you've successfully created your new password, return to accounts.opensense.com. Enter your email address and your newly created password, then click the sign-in button to access your account.
Tips for Password Security
- Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords 
- Enable two-factor authentication if Opensense offers it for an extra layer of security 
- Never share your password with anyone, even if they claim to be from Opensense support 
- Update your password regularly as part of good security hygiene 
Troubleshooting
Not receiving the reset email? Verify that you entered the correct email address and check your spam folder.
Still having issues? Contact Opensense support for assistance, or check with your IT administrator to confirm whether your account uses SSO authentication.
By following these simple steps, you'll have your Opensense account access restored quickly and securely.
