Reset Your Password

This procedure only affects users who do not go through a single sign-on process (SSO) to access the LMS.  

Feature Overview and Requirements

The LMS sets a six attempt limit on failed logins to your account before locking it. If you don’t recall your password, click Forgot Password under the Login button. After the fifth unsuccessful attempt, the Log In button is replaced by the Reset Your Password button. 

Once your account is locked, you must contact your portal administrator or support staff to unlock it. Do not contact LatitudeLearning for a new password unless you are a approved contact and Portal Administrator for your portal. For security reasons, it is not Latitude’s policy to make changes to user login security without the approval of an official portal administrator.

If your organization uses two-factor authentication, please review the Using Two Factor Authentication document under Useful Links to learn how to get access to the LMS.

Password Requirements

When resetting your password, it must meet the following standards as a minimum:

  • Must be at least 8 characters long
  • Must contain at least one each of the following: Upper Case letter, lower case letter, number
  • Special characters are allowed

Step by Step and Field Requirements

To Reset Your Password

If you do not remember the password to your LatitudeLearning® LMS account or if you have reached your fifth login attempt, you will need to initiate a password reset: 

  1. From the login page, click Forgot Password or Reset Your Password to open the Forgot Password page.
  2. Enter your username OR your email address and check the reCaptcha box.
  3. Click Submit.
    The system will email you a new randomly generated password. 
  4. Close and re-open your browser before attempting to log in with the new password.

The LMS will send you an email with a new system-generated password. After logging in with the new password, you are prompted to change your password before returning to the LMS. 

Here is how certain situations and potential conflicts will be handled by the system:

  • If entering email only and it is not found to be a duplicate email on another account, the new password is sent to that email
  • If entering email only and it is found to be a duplicate email for another user, the requesting user gets the message “The supplied email address is registered to more than one account. Either supply a username as well, or contact your administrator.” Upon entering a username and resubmitting, the new password is sent.
  • If entering username only and the user has an email, the new password is sent to that email.
  • If entering username only and the user does NOT have email, the requesting users gets the message “The supplied user does not have an email address on record.” and no new password is provided.
  • If entering both an email and a username that are valid, but not saved together, the requesting user gets a message “No matching data is found.” Example, if the username and email are found on different accounts.
  • If entering both an email and a username that are valid and saved together, a new password is sent that email. 

To Change Your Password Anytime

It is a good practice to change your LMS password regularly to protect your information and training history. If the portal administrator has enabled the Account feature for your use, you can change your password and other select account information on demand. If it has not, you must contact your portal administrator for assistance. 

  1. When logged in, go to your Classic Home page My Details tab or from the Navigation menu, open the Account page if provided by your portal administrator.
  2. In the password and password confirmation fields, provide and confirm your new password, then submit the changes.
