Forgotten password

What to do when you cannot sign in, and what happens next.

What happens next

The Check your email screen, showing a partly hidden address and a countdown on the resend button.

TDMP hides most of your address here on purpose, so nobody reading over your shoulder learns it.

  • The e-mail arrives within a few minutes. If it does not, look in your spam or junk folder.
  • You can ask for another one, but only after 60 seconds. The button counts down until then.
  • You will see this same screen whether or not the address has an account. That is deliberate — it stops a stranger using this page to find out who has one.

Set a new password

Open the link in the e-mail. It brings you to this screen.

The Choose a new password screen, with two password boxes and a checklist of rules.

The four rules underneath tick themselves off as you type. The button stays grey until all four are green.

  • At least 8 characters
  • One uppercase letter
  • One number
  • Both boxes match

Signing back in

The sign-in screen showing a green Password updated banner.

A green banner confirms it. This is the only confirmation you get, so if you do not see it, the password was not changed.

Sign in with the new password. Your old one no longer works anywhere, including the other RTB systems you reach through TDMP.
