- Signing in as a new user
- Password requirements
- Resetting your password
- Changing your password while signed in
Note: The sign-in process for Presentation Manager changed as part of the AXIS 9.6 release. If you're on an older version of AXIS, the images and some of the steps shown below will differ from what you see on your platform. Contact your project team if you have questions that aren't answered here.
Signing in as a new user
To sign in and start using AXIS Presentation Manager as a new user, your administrator first needs to create an account for you using your email address, first and last name, and your role.
Once your account has been created, you'll receive an invitation email that includes a link to set your password.
Note: The invitation link remains valid for 24 hours. If you haven't used it within that time a new one will need to be issued.
- Click on the link, or copy and paste it into a supported browser. This takes you to the Create your password page
- Create a password, bearing in mind the requirements to ensure the security of your account
- Confirm the password at the prompt
- Click on Create Password
- Your new password is created and you'll be redirected to the login page to sign in to Presentation Manager
Password requirements:
- Your password must consist of between 8 and 16 characters
- It must contain at least 1 lowercase letter
- It must contain at least 1 uppercase letter
- It must contain a number
- It must contain one of the following special characters @ # $ % ^ & * - _ + = [ ]{ } | \ : ' , ~ " ( ) ; .
Resetting your password
Note: If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in a row, your account is locked for 5 minutes. To gain access, you can either wait for the account to unlock automatically, or use the Forgot password process described here.
It happens to the best of us. If you're struggling to remember your Presentation Manager password – or need to change it to keep your account secure – simply click on the Forgot password link to start the reset process, then follow the steps below.
- At the prompt, enter the email address linked to your Presentation Manager account, then click on Send me instructions
- A password reset email will be sent to that address
- Click on the link in the email (or copy and paste it into your browser)
- Enter your new password, ensuring it meets the password requirements
- Confirm the new password (make sure the two entries match!)
- Click on Change password
- That's it. Your new password is confirmed and you can proceed to log in to Presentation Manager
It's worth bearing in mind that you can't use the Forgot password process if you haven't yet activated your account.
Used or expired reset links
Note that a password reset link can't be reused, and expires after 24 hours. If you try to use an expired or used link, you'll see an error message letting you know it isn't valid. Click on Send me a new reset link to restart the process of resetting your password.
To return to the login page, click on Back to sign in.
Changing your password while signed in
You can also trigger the password reset process after you've successfully signed into Presentation Manager. Click on the dropdown menu next to your name, in the top right-hand corner of the screen, and select Change password.
This will take you to the sign-in page, where you'll need to re-enter your existing credentials. Once you've confirmed them, the Change your password page will be displayed, and from there the process is the same as described above.
