How to create password for new administrator user account in Elements Endpoint Protection portal?

Issue:

How to create password for a new administrator user account in the Elements Security Center portal?

Resolution:

When an administrator user is added to the Elements Security Center portal. the user will receive a Welcome email which includes a temporary password that the user should use when they log in first time to the Elements Security Center portal. 

During the first login, they will be asked to create a new password and set up two-factor authentication.

The password can always be changed from within the Elements Security Center portal by the user themselves. After logging in, click on the user icon in the top-right corner and go to My settings. There you will find a Change password button.  

If for some reason the temporary password in the Welcome email would not work, you can always use the "Forgot password?" feature to reset the password. The "Forgot password?" feature will work even if the user has not yet successfully logged in to the portal at any point.
