Problems Receiving your Password Reset Email/Email is Not Taking You to the Password Reset Screen

  • Request a new email from this URL (https://bonus.ly/users/password/new) directly.

    • This email may take a few minutes to arrive.

  • If you do not see the email in your inbox, spam, or junk folder, then there is a high chance that your email security gateway blocks it. Please contact your IT/Security team to see if they are able to see it on their end and ask them to whitelist [email protected] to ensure all future emails are delivered.


Your New Password is Not Being Accepted

When creating a new password, please be aware that Bonusly requires a minimum of 12 characters for every user password.


Your Email is Not Recognized as Belonging to Your Company

  • If you are seeing either of the above screenshots:

    • Confirm with your company admin that the email you are using is the one associated with your Bonusly profile.

      • We often find that if you had a name change, your old email is still associated with your Bonusly profile.

      • If your company has ever changed names or email domains, you will want to make sure you are using your most up-to-date email.

  • If your admin has confirmed that you are using the right email address, please reach back out to Bonusly for Support


Additional Tips for creating strong passwords: πŸ’ͺ

  • Never reuse a password

  • Use at least 12 characters for your password (the more, the better!)

  • Use a mixture of both uppercase and lowercase letters

  • Mix in letters and numbers

  • Include a special character

  • Try to avoid using actual words by themselves from any language because they are easier to guess and decode (i.e., Burgundy)

  • Consider using a password manager program to keep track of your passwords, which defeats a lot of standard hacking attempts

Avoid common mistakes

  • Passwords based on personal information are easily compromised

  • Misspelling a word (daytt instead of date) only provides limited protection

  • Reusing a password, even a strong one, endangers your accounts just as much as using a weak password
