Hi all,

We have created additional users and purchased appropriate licenses. We have shared the company file with the new users. New users are logging on and accessing the new company file BUT are then being asked for a Username and Password . . . they enter their Username and Password and a warning box is coming up saying it is incorrect . . . I have confirmed with my own eyes they are using the same Username and Password they used to log in to Reckon Accounts Hosted in the first instance, is there another? Please help?!!

    Where is the login issue with starting the program or when you try and access the the company file?

    Hi Gerry, the users can all log into the platform but it is where they log into the Company File . . . I just don't remember setting a password for the Company File to be honest . . . from reading a bit more on the Support Hub I understand you can change the Password under Company / Change your password . . .

    Have you setup each as a seperat user with roles,

    goto COMPANY, USERS, and set them up with appropriate access etc.

    @jmckean911 No, the login to the Reckon Accounts Hosted platform here:

    • is compulsory
    • logs you into Reckon's servers (where your company files are stored)
    • is a paid license login

    The Username is your numerical Reckon Customer ID (unless you've specifically changed it) with each user having a "-number" eg User One: 123456-1, User Two: 123456-2 etc





    ... & is completely different & separate to your OWN Reckon Accounts Company File login(s) here:

    You can have one paid RAH license but multiple Users set up within your company file itself (Obviously only one user is able to be logged in at any one time if you only have one license though)
