Password

Last updated:

Translated from the Italian guide. Narciso itself is in Italian, so the names of buttons, menus and fields are shown exactly as they appear on screen, with a translation in brackets where it helps.

The password is personal and is assigned when the account is created (see Adding staff during registration). In Narciso there is no screen for changing your own password: you recover it if forgotten, or the Titolare (owner) resets it.

Recovering the password yourself#

Recovery uses WhatsApp and the phone number saved in the profile. It does not use email.

  1. On the login page type the nickname. When Narciso recognises it, the Password dimenticata? link becomes clickable (before that it stays grey).
  2. Press Password dimenticata?. The title Recupera password (Recover password) appears with the text: «Per assicurarci che sia realmente tu, invia il messaggio da WhatsApp con il numero salvato nel tuo account» (To make sure it is really you, send the message from WhatsApp with the number saved in your account), followed by the partly hidden number.
  3. With your phone, scan the QR code, or from a device with WhatsApp press Apri WhatsApp (Open WhatsApp): a ready-written message opens.
  4. Send the message from the phone whose number is saved in the account. The message must be sent as it is.
  5. The page carries on by itself as soon as the message arrives and shows Reimposta la password (Reset the password).
  6. Type the new password and repeat it in Conferma nuova password (Confirm new password), then press Salva (Save). The eye icon shows or hides the characters. The password must be from 6 to 72 characters and the two entries must match: until they do, the button stays off.
  7. «Password aggiornata. Ora puoi accedere.» (Password updated. You can now log in.) appears and you return to the login page.

The WhatsApp message is valid for 10 minutes. The Indietro (Back) link cancels the recovery and returns to the initial choice.

Changing the password closes all of that person's open sessions (see Session and logging out).

Messages#

«Il messaggio è arrivato da un numero diverso da quello dell'account. Scrivi dal telefono registrato.» (The message came from a number different from the account's. Write from the registered phone.) The message does not come from the profile's number Write again from the right phone

If recovery does not start#

  1. A team member asks the Titolare to reset the password. The Titolare does it in the staff card, under the login credentials item (see below). When the password is changed, the person's previous session is closed.
  2. A Titolare who cannot recover the password contacts support with the Serve aiuto? (Need help?) link on the login page (see Support), having the business name and VAT number ready.
  3. After too many wrong passwords the account is blocked for a while: wait and try again (see Login problems).

Resetting a team member's password#

Only the Titolare can change a team member's nickname, password and role: in the staff card, by editing the member, under the login credentials item. For the Responsabile (manager) «Solo il Titolare può cambiare ruoli e credenziali.» (Only the Titolare can change roles and credentials.) appears (see Roles and permissions). The Titolare passes on the new credentials privately.

The nickname#

The nickname is unique across the whole platform, is used to log in (not the email address) and can be changed only by the Titolare.
