(A1,iii) Generate Passcode for Students
Important: Students will be able to bypass the password reset page if their passwords have expired when they log in using a passcode. They will be redirected to the respective landing pages when logging in (applicable for both Teaching and Learning and E-Assessment Login).
Owners and Co-teachers can create a Passcode (formerly known as two-hour temporary password) for students in their Class Groups. This is valid for 10 hours and grants students temporary access to the SLS if they had forgotten their password or if their accounts had been locked.
However, when students use a Passcode to log in, they will not be able to access My Profile, and hence cannot change their password, security question answers, or email address.
Note: For a permanent solution, students can follow this guide on Student - Reset Password to reset their passwords. If they still encounter difficulties, and you are unable to reset their password for them, you should contact the SLS Helpdesk or your school's SLS Administrator. Only the SLS Helpdesk and SLS school administrator are able to unlock a student's account. The SLS Helpdesk will need to verify a student's identity using the security questions that were set up when his/her account was first activated.
