Logging In and Resetting Passwords

SkillPath provides a secure authentication system to protect user data and ensure that only authorized users can access the platform.

Whether you are a job seeker or an employer, accessing your dashboard requires valid credentials.

This guide explains how to access the login panel, manage your session, and use the Forgot Password feature to reset your credentials.

Accessing the Login Panel

SkillPath provides separate login entry points for job seekers and employers.

Job seekers navigate to the main website and click Login. Employers click Employer Login. If two-factor authentication is enabled on an employer account, an OTP will be required after entering credentials.

How to Log In

  1. Navigate to the SkillPath login page.

  2. Enter your registered Email Address or Username.

  3. Enter your Password. These credentials must match the ones you created during registration.

  4. (Optional) Check Remember Me if you are using a private or trusted device. This keeps your session active so you do not need to log in each time.

  5. Click Login. If your credentials are valid, you will be redirected to your dashboard. If invalid, an error message will appear.

How to Reset a Forgotten Password

If you cannot remember your password, SkillPath provides a secure way to reset it without needing to contact support.

  1. On the login page, click Forgot Password?

  2. Enter your registered email address and click Submit.

  3. Check your email for a 6-digit reset code.

  4. Enter the code and click Submit.

  5. Enter your new password twice and click Reset Password.

Your new password must meet the minimum strength requirements. Invalid or expired codes will display an error message.

Changing Your Password While Logged In

For security purposes, it is good practice to update your password regularly. You can do this directly from your dashboard.

  1. Click your Profile Picture in the top-right corner and select Change Password.

  2. Enter your current password for verification.

  3. Enter your new password and re-enter it to confirm.

  4. Click Update Password to save the changes.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Employer accounts can enable 2FA using Google Authenticator for additional account security. Once enabled, a one-time password (OTP) is required on every subsequent login.

How to enable 2FA

  1. Navigate to 2FA Security from your account settings.

  2. Scan the displayed QR code with Google Authenticator, or manually enter the Setup Key into the app.

  3. Enter the one-time password (OTP) generated by the app to activate 2FA.

How to disable 2FA

Navigate to 2FA Security and select the disable option. The system will confirm the change before disabling.

Important Terms Explained
