- At least eight characters.

Initial Login
Your system administrator may choose your initial password when creating your account, and they may require you to change your password when you log in for the first time. For more information on login settings, see Staff Member Administration.
Changing Your Password
Once you've logged into Clarity Human Services, you can change your password at any time by clicking your avatar or initials in the upper right corner and clicking the user-gear icon.
Enter a new password in the Password and Confirm Password fields, then click SAVE CHANGES.
Note: If the system won't save the password you entered, try entering a different combination of characters, numbers, and symbols. Be sure to follow the rules listed above.
Forgot Password
If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself if you see the Forgot your password? link on the login page.
Note: If your system administrator has not enabled the Automated Password Reset feature for your system, you will not see the FORGOT PASSWORD? link. Please contact your system administrator to reset your password.
When you click the Forgot your password? link, the system prompts you to enter the email address associated with your account.
After you enter your email address, the system will display the following message: “We have received your request. If you are an existing user, we will send you an email with a link to reset your password.”
Notes:
- You will receive a warning if you request more than one password reset on the Clarity Human Services Login page within a 5-minute window.
- When you reset your password using the Forgot your password? feature, you will be logged out of Clarity Human Services wherever you are currently logged in.
Force Password Change
Your system administrator may configure Clarity Human Services to require you to change your after a designated number of days.
The time interval starts when you receive a new password during account creation, reset your password on your own, or reset your password using the Forgot your password? feature.
Additional Login Authentication
For an additional level of security, you can use Two-Factor Authentication.
