Reset Account Password
Warning
The same account credentials used to access DataCite Fabrica are also used for API authentication. By resetting your password in Fabrica, you will be also resetting the password used by the REST and MDS APIs.
You can reset the password using your Account ID.
Access the password reset function by clicking “Forgot your password?” on the Sign In page, or by going directly to the following links:
- Reset password in the production environment: https://doi.datacite.org/reset
- Reset password in the test environment: https://doi.test.datacite.org/reset
On the Reset Password page, enter your Account ID for your Direct Member, Consortium Organization, Consortium Lead, or Repository account and click Send Link. An email will be sent to the designated system email contact person associated with the account.
In the email, click Reset Password to be redirected to Fabrica, where you will be able to set a new password.
Passwords should be at least 8 characters long. To provide better security, you can select a password auto-generated by Fabrica. Click Submit after entering the same new password in both the New Password and Confirm Password input fields.
