Inside, you'll find:

  • How tenants can sign in using a magic link via email or phone
  • How property managers can reset a tenant's password from the back end
  • How to invite tenants who have not yet activated their portal

Use this article as a reference when a tenant cannot log in or has lost access to their tenant portal.

Tenants can log in without a password using a secure link sent to their email or phone.

Email magic link:

  • The tenant enters their email address on the login screen
  • A secure sign-in link is sent to their email
  • Clicking the link logs them into the tenant portal

Phone number magic link:

  • The tenant enters their phone number on the login screen
  • A secure sign-in link is sent to their phone
  • Clicking the link logs them into the tenant portal

Step 2: Reset a Tenant's Password as a Property Manager

Property managers can reset tenant passwords directly from the back end.

  • From the left-side navigation, select Users
  • Select Tenants
  • Click on the tenant's name
  • Navigate to Activity & Portal Login
  • Choose one of the following:
    • Invite the tenant if they have not been invited yet
    • Change Password to set a new password

Once a new password is set, the tenant will receive a notification with their updated login details.
