This guide will walk you through accessing your Sama account. You will learn how to log in,
   activate your account, reset your password if needed, and set up two-factor authentication 
   for enhanced security. Follow the steps in each section to get started quickly and securely.

Logging in

When you visit  accounts.sama.com, you will be greeted with a login page that allows you to connect to all Sama applications at once.

If you haven't configured your account, please visit the Activating your account section below.
You can see which application you will land on by checking the URL of the page or looking at the title of the login window.

To log in:

1. Enter your username and password.
2. Click continue

Once you have successfully logged in, you may be prompted to set up two-factor authentication. Returning users who already have two-factor authentication set up can proceed directly to the application (after entering their two-factor passcode, if applicable).

Entering your two-factor passcode

If you access the application from a non-whitelisted IP address, you will be prompted for your passcode each time you log in:

1. Open the authentication app on your device (Google Authenticator or similar).
2. Enter your passcode on the screen.
   

💡 Note: If desired, check Remember this browser to save your information for 30 days, or until your cache is cleared (whichever comes first).

Activating your account

Before you can access the platform, you must activate your account and log in.
Once you have been invited to Sama, you will receive an email inviting you to activate your Sama account. To complete the activation process:

1. In the activation email, click Verify Email
   
2. On the Complete Account Activation page that appears, modify your first and last name if needed, and then create a password that meets the stated requirements.
   
3. Click Activate Account. 
   Once your account has been activated successfully, you will need to log in to the platform using your new credentials and set up two-factor authentication.

Setting up two-factor authentication

If this is your first time signing in or your two-factor authentication has been reset, you will need to configure two-factor authentication before proceeding:

1. Open Google Authenticator or a similar app on your device.
2. Scan the QR code that is displayed on the screen.
3. In the field below the QR code, enter the shown passcode on your device.
   
4. In the field below the QR code, enter the passcode displayed on your device.
5. Save the recovery key in a safe place in case you ever lose access to your device.
   Once two-factor authentication is successfully configured, you can proceed with using the application.
    

Resetting two-factor authentication

If you lose access to your authentication device or need to reconfigure two-factor authentication, you can reset it from your account settings:

1. In your Sama account, go to the Security tab.
2. Click Reset two-factor authentication.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to set up two-factor authentication again (see Setting up two-factor authentication).
   

   

💡 Note: From the same Security tab, you can also reset your password if needed.

Resetting Password  

If you have forgotten your password or need to reset it, follow these steps before signing in again:

1. Click on Forgot password on the sign-in page.
2. Open the email that was sent to your registered address.
3. In the email, click on Reset Password.
4. You will be redirected to a page where you can create a new password.
5. Save your new password.
