Account Setup

Objectives

Understand how to set up and manage users in your PuzzleMe™ account.

PuzzleMe provides several ways to log in to your account, depending on your subscription plan. Some features described below may be available only on Professional or Enterprise accounts.

Personal Plan

If you are on the Personal (free) plan, log in to your PuzzleMe account using this link.

Personal plan login screen

You can log in using any of these services:

  • Google
  • Microsoft
  • Yahoo
  • X/Twitter
  • Facebook

No signup or account setup is required before logging in to the Personal plan.

Professional Plan

If you are using our Professional plan, log in to your PuzzleMe account using the link emailed to you immediately after you sign up.

Professional plan login screen

You will need to log in with your email and password. When you sign up for our Professional plan, we will send you instructions to set up your password and two-factor authentication (2FA). If you do not set up your account within 30 days, the instructions will be deactivated for security reasons. If that happens, please contact our Product Support Team.

Enterprise Plan

If you are using our Enterprise plan, you will either be provided with a secure login URL with two-factor authentication (2FA) or a legacy login with an account name and password.

Secure Login Setup

If you are a Professional Plan user or an Enterprise Plan user, the following sections will help you set up your account.

Setting/Resetting Your Password

You can set or reset your password by clicking the "Forgot password" option on the PuzzleMe login page. When you select this option, a password reset link is sent to the email address you enter on the forgot password screen.

Important: The provided link becomes invalid as soon as a new password is successfully set. Initiating the "Forgot password" option without successfully setting a new password does not lock you out or invalidate your existing password.

Forgot password screen

Your new password must meet these requirements and must differ from your last five passwords:

  • At least 8 characters
  • At least 3 of the following:
    • Lowercase letters (a-z)
    • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
    • Numbers (0-9)
    • Special characters (e.g., !@#$%^&*)
  • No more than 2 identical characters in a row

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

During your initial login, you will be prompted to scan a QR code for two-factor authentication using any authenticator app such as:

After scanning the QR code, you must enter the one-time password (OTP) displayed in your authenticator app on the login screen to proceed. The QR code is only displayed during your first login; subsequent logins will require entering the OTP generated by your authenticator app.

Lost 2FA access? If you lose your 2FA method, contact our Product Support Team to regenerate it.

Account Locking After Incorrect Password Attempts

Your account will be locked if you make five consecutive unsuccessful login attempts. A notification indicating the account lock will be displayed on the login page. If this happens, you can use the "Forgot Password" option on the login page. A password reset link will be sent to your registered email address, and your account will be unlocked upon successfully setting a new password.

Password Rotation (90-Day Requirement)

Passwords must be refreshed every 90 days. If you attempt to log in with a password created more than 90 days ago, you will be unable to access your account and will be redirected to an error page stating, "Your password has expired. Please reset it using the 'Forgot Password' link here."

To resolve this, follow the provided link in the message, choose the "Forgot Password" option, and proceed to reset your password as detailed in the Setting/Resetting Your Password section above.

Managing Users

You can manage users in your account if you have admin rights. Once you log in, click on your username in the top-right corner and then click on "Account Details".

Click on "Account Details" in the top right

On the "Account Details" page, you can manage who has access to the account by clicking on "Manage Members". Note that the maximum number of users depends on whether you are on the Enterprise or Professional plan. You cannot allow multiple users to access your account on the Personal Plan.

Click on "Manage Members"

You can provide two types of access: Admin or Read-only.

Don't forget to click "Invite"! Those who have been added will receive an email with a link to set up their account. The setup instructions are described in the Secure Login Setup section above.

FAQ

I need to add more emails for accessing the account.

If you would like more people to access your account than your plan allows, you can add a group email to the account. When using a group email:

  1. A single member of the group should set the password, save it, and share it with the group
  2. When they reach the 2FA page, they should take a screenshot of the QR code and share it with other group members
  3. Each group member should add the QR code to their respective authenticator app
  4. Any group member can log in subsequently using the shared email, password, and the one-time password (OTP) generated by their authenticator app
Can I use my email to access multiple accounts?

Only one email can be used to access one Professional or Enterprise account. The same email cannot be used to access multiple accounts. If you try to add an email associated with another account, you will see an error message.

My account is locked. What do I do?

If you get locked out, you can reset your password by using the "Forgot Password" option on the login page. A password reset link will be sent to your registered email address, and your account will be unlocked upon successfully setting a new password.
