Password Not Accepted (Forgot Password)
If the HID Approve app is not accepting or recognizing your password, or you have forgotten it, you won’t be able to just simply reset your password. IdenTrust recommends you go through the process of reinstalling the application on your mobile device. This process allows you to create a new password. You will need to access the IdenTrust web portal to do this.
You can either call IdenTrust tech support to help guide you through this process or you can go below and complete the steps yourself.
