Sign-in page

Key point: PageSeeder’s secure gateway requiring credentials and offering multiple authentication options for system access.

This page lets you sign in to a PageSeeder server if you already have an account.

You need to enter your email or username, and your password.

If you enable the Remember me option, PageSeeder automatically signs you in when your session has expired so that you don’t have to enter your details again. However, if you sign out, you need to sign in again.

Click the Sign in button to open the homepage for the server or the page you were trying to reach.

Once you have signed in, your account menu is always available.

If you forgot your password...

Click the forgotten password option to open the Reset password dialog.

Enter the email address you normally use and then click the Send reset link button. Confirmation is displayed that an email with a link to reset your password is sent – click Ok.

See How to reset your password.

  • You can only reset your password if you’ve specified an email address when creating your account. If you only have a username, you need to contact an administrator to reset your password.
  • For security reasons, PageSeeder doesn’t disclose whether the email address you entered is associated with a valid account.

Account locking

To protect your account, PageSeeder automatically locks your account after repeated failed sign-in attempts. A warning is displayed upon each failed attempt to remind you that your account might be locked.

For developers: You can configure the range of failed attempts that causes PageSeeder to lock an account in the global properties.

If your account is locked, you need to wait before attempting to sign in again or contact an administrator who can unlock your account.

The number of failed attempts triggering a lockout, and the time your account is locked out for, might be different each time.

Account activation

If your account is not activated, you see a message to let you know that you need to activate your account before being able to sign in.

To activate your account:

  1. Click the Send activation email again button on this page.
  2. Check your email client inbox and wait for the activation email.
  3. Click the Get started button in the email.

If your account doesn’t have an email address associated with it, you cannot follow the email activation process. In that case, only an administrator can activate your account.

Multifactor authentication (MFA)

If you have configured multifactor authentication, PageSeeder prompts you for your second factor after successfully entering your username and password. This additional security layer ensures your account remains protected even if your password is compromised.

When using email or phone verification, PageSeeder sends you a time-limited verification code that remains valid for only a few minutes. Enter this code in the verification field and select Verify code to complete your sign-in process.

For authenticator app users, open your authentication application (such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator), locate the PageSeeder entry, and input the displayed code into the verification field, then select Verify code to proceed.

If you're using a physical security key or device, the system provides specific on-screen instructions tailored to your device type and operating system. Follow these prompts to complete the authentication process.

In situations where you’ve previously generated backup codes, you can enter one of your remaining codes in the verification field.

Remember that each backup code can only be used once, after which it becomes invalid.

Using a different second factor

PageSeeder offers flexibility if you have multiple second factors configured. If you need to use a different authentication method, click the Sign in with another method link to see alternative options.

If you’re unable to access any of your second factors, click return to the sign-in page and contact an administrator for assistance. Administrators can help resolve authentication issues and restore access to your account.

External identity

If you attempt to sign in using an email configured to only use an external identity provider such as Google or Microsoft, you cannot sign in with this page.

A message is then displayed with a link to the portal that lets you sign in to PageSeeder.

Legal documents

PageSeeder can be configured to require that you agree to legal documents before you can sign in. In that case, you need to click the checkbox, for each document if more than one, before you can click the Sign in button.

For developers: Use the organization configuration to specify a list of documents that users are required to agree to.

How to find this page

Any page that requires sign-in redirects you to this page if you haven’t already signed in.
