Passwords

Changing your own password

Any user can change their own password from their profile settings.

1. Click your avatar or initials in the top-right corner.
2. Select Profile or Account settings.
3. Go to the Password section.
4. Enter your current password.
5. Enter and confirm your new password.
6. Click Save.

Your new password takes effect immediately. You will not be logged out of your current session, but any other active sessions will be invalidated.

Password requirements

Strawly enforces a minimum password strength. A strong password should:

• Be at least 12 characters long
• Include a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols
• Not be a commonly used password

Admin: resetting another user's password

Admins can set a new password for any user. This is useful when a user is locked out or has forgotten their password.

1. Go to Settings → Users.
2. Click the edit icon next to the user.
3. Find the Reset password section.
4. Enter a temporary password.
5. Click Save.

Share the temporary password with the user through a secure channel (not email in plain text). Ask them to change it immediately after logging in.

Note

Admins cannot see existing passwords — only set new ones. Passwords are stored as secure hashes.

Forgotten password (self-service)

If your Strawly instance has email delivery configured, you can request a password reset link from the login page:

1. Go to the Strawly login page.
2. Click Forgot password?.
3. Enter your email address and submit.
4. Check your inbox for a reset link.
5. Click the link and set a new password.

If email delivery is not configured, contact your Strawly administrator to reset your password manually.

Changing the default admin password

The default admin account (admin@strawly.app) uses the password admin123. This must be changed immediately after deployment. See First Login for step-by-step instructions.
