Orchidea offers many ways to secure your account. From password security to information about logins from new devices, learn about your options for keeping your Orchidea account safe.
Password creation for new accounts
When users log in to Orchidea for the first time, there are forced to create a personal password. Passwords are not shown in the internet browser password input field. Orchidea will not send passwords to users via email. Instead, users are sent a magic link that will be used to authenticate the user into Orchidea.
Password quality
The minimum length of a password is 8 characters. The password is assessed by a password strength estimator that recognizes and weighs 30 000 common passwords, common names and surnames, popular English words, and other common patterns like dates, repeats, sequences, and keyboard patterns. Password strength is visualized for the users and users are not allowed to create weak passwords.
Reset Orchidea password
If a user has forgotten their personal password, they can reset their password with the “Forgot my password” -link on the login page. This will send a magic link for authentication which users can use to generate a new personal password.
Users can also start the password reset inside Orchidea by visiting the Authentication tab in their own Profile.
Failed password login attempts
After 5 consecutive failed login attempts, Orchidea will lock the password and send a password reset email to your user email.
