# Password and authentication

> Setting, resetting, and changing your password, and configuring two-factor authentication

## Setting a password the first time

The first time a user is invited to the Service, they will receive an email with a link to set their password.

The password that they set for their account will be used to access all data rooms that they have been invited to.
If a user has already set a password, later invitations will not include a link to set the password.
If a user has forgotten their password, they may [reset it](#resetting-the-password).

## Resetting the password

1. Go to the [login page](https://dataroom.aversure.com/).
2. Click on **Forgotten your password?**
3. Enter your email address and click on **Reset password**.
4. Follow the instructions in the email to set a new password for the account.
