Signing in and recovering your password¶
You sign in to MySquash with your login and your password. The login is a short name of its own, chosen when your account was created (for example amorgan): it is not your e-mail address. This page explains how to get a new password and where to find your login again.
Your login is not your e-mail address¶
- The Login field of the sign-in page only accepts lowercase letters, numbers, periods, hyphens and underscores. An e-mail address is refused with the message "Allowed characters: lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_)".
- One e-mail address can be shared by several accounts, such as a parent and their children. The login tells them apart.
Getting a new password¶
- On the sign-in page, click Forgot your username or password?
- Enter your e-mail address and click Send.
- MySquash confirms the request. Check your inbox, and your spam folder: the e-mail is titled "MySquash - Reset your password".
- The e-mail contains the line Reminder of your login: this is the name you sign in with. Note it down.
- Click the link in the e-mail. It opens the Password change page: type your New password (a bar shows how strong it is), type it again under Confirm, then click Validate.
- Sign in with your login, the one from the e-mail, and your new password.
Enter your e-mail address
The field is labelled Login or e-mail, but it currently only accepts an e-mail address: a login is refused with the message "Invalid e-mail address".
The link in the e-mail¶
- The link works only once.
- It expires during the night after the request, even though the confirmation page mentions 24 hours.
- Each new request replaces the previous one: only the link in the latest e-mail is valid.
If the link no longer works, simply ask again.
Special cases¶
- An address shared by several accounts: MySquash also asks for your Last name and First Name, to know which account to send the e-mail to. It then returns to the home page without a confirmation message; the e-mail is sent all the same.
- An unknown address, or an account without an e-mail address: contact Swiss Squash, who can tell you your login and update your address.
