Feature Overview: Password Recovery
Password Recovery provides several key benefits:
- Reduces admin workload: Users can reset their own passwords without contacting an admin.
- Enhances security: Users must verify their identity using security questions.
- Saves time: Users regain access to Yellow Dog quickly after forgetting their password.
Important: If password recovery is not configured, only an admin user with permission to edit employees can reset a user’s login password.
You can access Password Recovery from the top menu bar in Yellow Dog Inventory.

- Use memorable, non-obvious answers for security questions.
- Periodically verify that security questions are still accurate.
