App sign in help

App Sign in help is available when a user forgets their password or just needs to reset their password. This applies to all users, from read-only personnel all the way up to Subscription admins.

There are several ways to get help with app sign in issues. Have the Subscription Admin reset a users password. Reset a password via email. Have a user change their own password while logged in to the app, and last, call Field Squared support.

You'll then see that users information on the right side of the screen. Scroll down the the section labeled Reset Password.
