FAQs

I am locked out of my account?

Users who make too many failed attempts to log in will be locked out of their accounts. Because of this, if you have attempted to log in a handful of times and cannot remember your password, we highly recommend you use the Forgot Password workflow to prevent yourself from being locked out.

If you are locked out, you will need to contact ServiceTrade Support. You must email support with the same email assigned to the locked-out user. This is so we can verify your identity and allows us to protect the security of your account. We cannot unlock an account over the phone or from a different email.

Other Lock-Out Security Measures

If a user is locked out from too many login attempts, all admin users in the account will receive an email notification in case the attempts were made maliciously. Its purpose is for the security of our customer accounts. Because of this, we will not turn off these notifications. If you are an admin receiving too many lock-out notifications, please review this article and best practices with your staff to prevent user lockouts.

Can ServiceTrade Support change my user passwords?

ServiceTrade cannot change a user's password.

If you contact ServiceTrade Support for a password reset, they can send a user the password reset email that is accessible via this workflow.

If the user does not recieve their email they should check their Spam or Junk Mail folder from no-reply@id.servicetrade.com or servicetrade-noreply@servicetrade.com

If they do not receive the email, ServiceTrade Support cannot change a user's email address and resend the forgotten password email. That user needs to reach out to an Account Admin at their company and have them change the user's email. The Admin can follow the instructions here on Editing Users' Emails.

Will ServiceTrade ever ask for my credentials?

ServiceTrade places the utmost importance on security and user trust. We are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality and integrity of our user's data. It is our steadfast policy to never request or solicit user credentials, such as passwords, in any form. We understand that maintaining the privacy and security of user accounts is paramount to building and maintaining trust in our platform.

We employ industry-leading security measures and best practices to protect user information and ensure that ServiceTrade remains a safe and reliable service for all. Your security is our priority, and we stand by our commitment to never compromise it by asking for sensitive login details.

Are there best practices for Passwords?

Creating strong and secure user passwords is essential in safeguarding personal and online information. Your password must contain:

• At least 8 characters
• At least 3 of the following:
  • Lowercase letters (a-z)
  • Uppercase letters (A-Z)
  • Numbers (0-9)
  • Special characters (e.g. !@#$%^&*)

Though we only require 8 characters we highly recommend using longer 16-64 character passwords. Avoid using easily guessable information, such as birthdates or common words. It's also crucial to have unique passwords for different accounts, as this prevents a breach in one account from compromising others.

Regularly updating passwords and refraining from sharing them with others is equally important. Employing the use of password managers to generate and securely store complex passwords can significantly enhance security. In essence, a strong password acts as a critical barrier against unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and personal and company accounts.

I am a NorthBoundary + ServiceTrade customer, and my ServiceTrade credentials do not work?

Starting November 30th, 2023, when you log in to ServiceTrade on the web, you'll be redirected to our universal login page, where you will now use your NorthBoundary credentials to log in to ServiceTrade if you use the same email for both NorthBoundary and ServiceTrade.

What is SSO and MFA?

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to securely authenticate into multiple applications and websites using just one set of credentials.

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application or online account.
