# Blocks and passwords
### Administration Portal
In the portal, the administrator can perform several administrative actions with users, such as creating/changing passwords, blocking/unblocking users, and much more.
* **Create Password:** Allows the administrator to manually create a password for the user in question by typing it on a screen. Weak passwords are not allowed.
* **Change Password:** Allows the administrator to manually change a password for the user in question by typing it on a screen. Weak passwords are not allowed.
* **Reset Password:** Allows the administrator to request that an email be sent so that the user themselves can change their access password.
* **Block:** Blocks the user's access to the system and the reports portal. Note that even when blocked, the user continues to be billed until removed.
* **Unblock Password:** Allows removing the temporary 30-minute block that the system automatically adds whenever a user enters the wrong password 5 times in a row.

The best option for Power Embedded authentication is using integrated authentication (Google and Microsoft), as the system does not need to manage passwords, already has integrated MFA, and if the account is blocked in the company's directory, access is automatically blocked.

### Self-Management of Passwords
Although the Power Embedded Administrator can create/change the password for the user and force a password reset, the system allows the user themselves to self-manage their password, to create a password for first access and also to reset/recover their password.

### User Forgot Password
In the "[Forgot password?](https://relatorios.powerembedded.com.br/Identity/ForgotPassword)" option, the user themselves can type their email and Power Embedded will send a password reset link by email, where the user will click the link and type their new password to access the portal.
### Create Password for First Access
If the user was recently created in the portal and the administrator has not set any password for this user, the person themselves can click on the "[Create password for first access](https://relatorios.powerembedded.com.br/Identity/Register)" link.
On this screen, the user can type the registered email and create a new password to access the portal. Weak passwords will not be accepted.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The user cannot register in the system using this link. This screen is only for the user to create their password on first access, but the user must have been previously created in the [Administration Portal](https://admin.powerembedded.com.br/).
