Box Status

Can't change my password

I signed up via Google SSO and when I try to change my password (I currently have no password) to access a file that requires a strong password, I repeatedly get an error message. This occurs on both Safari and Chrome.

 

I just want to access a file, this is ridiculous! And why can't I speak to anyone???

    It is truly unacceptable that multiple people have run into this exact problem — Google SSO users being locked out of "strong password required files" — and yet Box has done nothing at all to address it.

    I guess the only way is to expose this terrible support service in social media ... absolutely no respect at all for users and clients.

    Log out of Google (or use an incognito/private browser). Then sign in with your Google account, which should let you change your password.

    Just found a workaround. Incognito didn't do it for me, but this did.

    1. Log out of Box.

    2. Login to Box using email, NOT Google.

    3. BEFORE entering password, click "Reset Password" below. 

    4. Go to your email used in step 1, Reset password via provided link.

    5. Login to Box using email and new password, NOT Google.
