Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Changing Your Password
If you know your current password and want to change it:
Log in to Sequifi. You'll land on your dashboard after signing in.
Click on your initials in the upper right corner. A dropdown menu appears.
Select "Reset Password" or "Change Password." The option may vary slightly depending on your setup.
Enter your current password. This verifies that you're the account owner.
Enter your new password. Choose a strong password that you'll remember.
Confirm your new password. Re-enter it to make sure you typed it correctly.
Click "Change Password." Your password is now updated.
Use your new password the next time you log in. Your old password will no longer work.
Resetting a Forgotten Password
If you forgot your password and can't log in:
Go to the Sequifi login page.
Look for a "Forgot Password" or "Reset Password" link. This is typically below the login form.
Click the link.
Enter your email address. Use the email associated with your Sequifi account.
Click "Submit" or "Send Reset Link."
Check your email. You'll receive an email with instructions to reset your password.
Click the link in the email. This takes you to a page where you can create a new password.
Enter your new password. Choose something strong and memorable.
Confirm your new password. Re-enter it to verify.
Click "Reset Password" or "Save." Your new password is now active.
Return to the login page and sign in with your new password.
Note: Password reset links typically expire after a short time. If your link has expired, request a new one.
Setting Up Your Password for the First Time
When you're hired and receive your login credentials:
Open the welcome email from Sequifi. It contains your username and a temporary password.
Click the link to access Sequifi.
Enter your username and temporary password. Copy and paste the temporary password exactly as it appears.
Click "Sign In."
You'll be prompted to change your password. Temporary passwords must be replaced with your own.
Enter the temporary password as your "old password."
Create your new password. Choose something you'll remember but that others can't guess.
Confirm your new password.
Click "Change Password." You can now use your new password going forward.
Creating a Strong Password
A strong password helps protect your account. Follow these guidelines:
Do:
Use at least 8 characters (longer is better)
Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
Include numbers
Include special characters (like !, @, #, $)
Use a unique password not used on other sites
Consider using a passphrase (a series of random words)
Don't:
Use personal information (name, birthday, address)
Use common words or phrases (password, 123456, qwerty)
Use the same password you use elsewhere
Share your password with anyone
Write your password on a sticky note near your computer
Examples of weak passwords:
password123
john1990
12345678
sequifi
Examples of stronger passwords:
Tr0pic@lFish92!
M0untain$unrise#44
Coffee&Donuts2025!
Keeping Your Account Secure
Beyond having a strong password, follow these practices:
Log out when finished
Always log out when you're done using Sequifi, especially on shared computers
Click your initials and select "Logout"
Don't share your credentials
Never share your username or password with anyone
Sequifi admins will never ask for your password
Each person should have their own account
Be careful on public networks
Avoid logging in on public WiFi when possible
If you must use public WiFi, make sure the connection is secure (https)
Watch for phishing
Be suspicious of emails asking for your password
Verify links before clicking them
When in doubt, go directly to Sequifi by typing the URL yourself
Keep your email secure
Your email is used for password resets
If someone accesses your email, they could reset your Sequifi password
Use a strong, unique password for your email as well
Report suspicious activity
If you notice anything unusual in your account, report it immediately
Contact your admin if you think your account may have been compromised
What to Do If You Think Your Account Was Compromised
If you suspect unauthorized access to your account:
Change your password immediately. Use the steps above to set a new, strong password.
Review your profile information. Check if any personal details, banking information, or tax info was changed.
Check your recent activity. Look at your earnings, requests, and other activity for anything you don't recognize.
Contact your admin. Let them know about the potential security issue so they can investigate and help secure your account.
Change your email password too. If your email was also compromised, the attacker could reset your Sequifi password again.
Monitor your bank account. If your banking information was in Sequifi, watch for any unauthorized transactions.
Tips and Common Mistakes
Write down your password securely. If you must write it down, keep it in a secure place away from your computer. Better yet, use a password manager.
Don't reuse passwords. Using the same password across multiple sites means one breach can compromise all your accounts.
Update your password periodically. Changing your password every few months adds an extra layer of security.
Check the URL before logging in. Make sure you're on the real Sequifi site, not a fake lookalike page designed to steal your credentials.
Don't click password reset links you didn't request. If you receive a reset email but didn't ask for one, someone may be trying to access your account. Report it to your admin.
Log out on shared devices. If you use a shared computer, always log out completely when you're done.
Keep your contact info current. If you need to reset your password, the reset link goes to your email on file. Make sure it's up to date.
Common Questions
How often should I change my password? There's no strict rule, but changing it every few months is a good practice. Always change it immediately if you think it may have been compromised.
What if I don't receive the password reset email? Check your spam or junk folder first. If it's not there, make sure you entered the correct email address. Contact your admin if you still don't receive it.
Can my admin see my password? No, passwords are encrypted. Admins cannot see your password. If you need a new password, you'll need to reset it yourself or have the admin send a reset link.
What if I'm locked out of my account? If you've tried resetting your password and still can't get in, contact your admin. They can help verify your identity and restore access.
Can I use the same password as my email? It's not recommended. Using unique passwords for different accounts means that if one is compromised, the others remain secure.
Is my information secure in Sequifi? Sequifi uses security measures to protect your data, but account security also depends on you using a strong password and following good security practices.
