You set your own password — we never see it, and we don't choose one for you.
During first sign-in
Setting your password is part of the onboarding sequence the first time you sign in. The full walkthrough is on First sign-in — Step 5 is the password screen.
In short: after you verify your email with a 6-digit code, you're asked to type a new password (twice, to confirm), and that's it.
Password requirements
The exact requirements are shown on the password screen as you type, but typical rules are:
- A minimum length (the screen states the exact number).
- A mix of upper-case and lower-case letters, digits, and at least one symbol.
- Different from passwords you've used recently on this account.
The strength indicator turns green when your choice satisfies every rule. If you'd prefer not to invent a password yourself, a password manager will generate one that meets every rule automatically — every modern browser has one built in, and standalone apps like 1Password and Bitwarden work too.
I forgot my password
You can reset it yourself at any time. The flow is the same as the email-verification step from onboarding:
- Go to portal.dmu.gr and enter your email address as usual.
- On the password screen, click Forgot password below the password field.
- We email a 6-digit verification code to your address.
- Enter the code on the next screen, then choose a new password and confirm it.
- You're signed in.
The verification code is single-use and short-lived (a few minutes). If you don't see it, check spam, then hit Resend — a new code invalidates the previous one, so use the most recent.
I never received the code
- Check spam / junk. Verification codes are the most commonly spam-filtered email we send.
- Wait a minute, then click "Resend".
- Confirm the email address. If you typed it wrong on the email-address screen, the code went to the wrong inbox. Go back and re-enter it.
- Still nothing? Reach out — we can re-trigger the code or reset the account from our side.
What we can't do
We don't have access to your password. If you forget it, the self-serve reset above is the only path. We can't email it to you, read it back, or unlock the account without resetting.
For the same reason: don't email us your password if something goes wrong. We don't need it — we'd reset it instead.
