Our answers to your questions
SeeZam® cannot reset your password. You and your assistance contact must be involved. It is a very secure protocol involving human action. If you prefer to have a proven robot solution and receive a Challenge 1 via SMS, you will need to select a trusted virtual third party (an independent server, running on the infrastructure of a third-party client company). In this video, you will learn how to add a trusted virtual third party:
No, it is not too bad! Because the human mind is not infallible, a secure option has been set up for you. Your Human Resources department or possibly the SeeZam support service can assist you with a password reset, if necessary, without losing the encrypted information and without revealing your new password. Note that we are talking about assistance, not about the ability to do so without your consent or intervention.
SeeZam uses a secured mechanism to reset your password, only you yourself should be able to do it!
Go to the login page and click on "Forgot your password?".
If you have a “virtual trusted third party” (see FAQ 3), you will then first receive a code (called challenge 1) via SMS or Safety email and a second code (called challenge 2) via the main email address linked to your account. In this second email, a limited-time link will allow you to call up a page inviting you to give challenges 1 and 2, opening a screen for renewing your password.
If you do not have a virtual trusted third party (see FAQ 3), the procedure will be longer because it goes through a person assisting (human) who will be contacted by SeeZam and will have to accept your request.
As soon as this person has accepted your request, the first code (challenge 1) must be communicated to you by your support person: by email, by phone, etc. according to the practice in force in your company. You will receive the second code (challenge 2) by email (on the email address linked to your account).
In this email, a limited-time link will allow you to call up a page inviting you to give challenges 1 and 2, opening a screen for renewing your password.
