Why you cannot see a carer password again

BetterCare keeps no copy of a password. If a carer lost it, set a new one.

A carer password shows one time only, when you make it. After that, nobody can see it, not even BetterCare. This article tells you why, and what to do if a carer lost the password.

Why the password does not show

  • BetterCare keeps no copy of a password. It keeps only a protected code that cannot be changed back into the password.

  • This stops another person from reading a carer's password and signing in as that carer.

  • The carer record shows the password state only, for example Temporary password. It showed once, when it was generated.

If a carer lost the password

  1. Open the carer on the Staff page.

  2. Select Set new password.

  3. Give the new password to the carer.

For the full steps, read Set a new password for a carer. The carer stays signed in, and the old password works until the carer uses the new one.

The password lines

  • Not shown. A new password shows once, when you set it.: the carer chose their own password, or a manager typed a password for the carer.

  • Temporary password. It showed once, when it was generated.: the carer must change the password in the app at the next sign-in.

  • Set by … Nobody else can see it.: the carer has an email address and set the password with a link.
