One Time Password

✅ How to Use One-Time Passwords for Users Without Email in PurelyHR

In some organizations, not all employees have a company email address. To ensure these users can still access their accounts securely, PurelyHR offers a First-Time Login Password feature. This allows an administrator to set a temporary password that the user can use to log in for the first time and then create their own secure password.



Why Use One-Time Passwords?

  • Provides secure access for employees without email addresses.
  • Allows administrators to manage login credentials easily.
  • Ensures compliance with password security requirements.

How to Enable and Set a One-Time Password

  1. Go to the Staff module.
  2. Select Account Settings.
  3. Under the General tab, turn on the following toggles:
    • Allow users without email
    • Allow the use of a first-time login password for users without email
  4. Choose a new password.
  5. Confirm the new password.
  6. Click Submit.


Password Requirements

Your new password must meet the following criteria:

  • ✅ More than 8 characters long
  • ✅ Less than 64 characters long
  • ✅ No more than three repeating characters
  • ✅ At least one number
  • ✅ At least one lowercase letter
  •  At least one uppercase letter


Best Practice Tip

Once the user logs in with the one-time password, they should immediately set their own secure password to maintain account security.
