  1. Check it's really them: in person, on a video call where you can see them, or by calling a number you already had for them.
  2. Go to ConsoleSettingsSecurity and find Lost authenticators and account recovery.

  3. Select Approve beside their request, say how you checked, and select Approve the reset.
  4. Or select Decline, with a reason they'll read.

They can finish the reset as soon as you approve.

Good to Know

  • Never approve because of an email or message alone, however urgent. Whoever asked knows their password.
  • You can approve a reset only for someone no more senior than you.
  • To leave every reset to Agoo, turn off Owners and Admins can approve a colleague's reset. Agoo then checks identity itself, with a 24-hour wait.
  • Every step is in your audit trail, under account recovery.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • You can't approve someone. They're more senior than you, such as the Owner. Agoo checks their identity instead.
  • The request has gone from the list. They withdrew it, finished it, or it ran out. They can ask again from the sign-in page.
