Accessing Fourth's Solutions - Fourth app

Overview

This article shows how to regain access to the Fourth platform if a user has forgotten their username, password – or both. 

The article will cover the options for a standard ESS account, as well as the additional options for the Engage Administrator (applicable to Fourth Engage customers).

Usernames - ESS and End Users

• The username is typically an employee’s personal email address (but not always)
• A forgotten username can often be found in the original ‘welcome’ email
• Or, on the login page, select Forgotten username?

 An email containing the correct username will then be received at that address.
