Creating and Resetting Your Password:

If you’re logging in for the first time, or If you’ve forgotten your login password, click Forgot your Password? below the login button.  Once you have clicked this link, a new page will appear where you will enter your email address and select Request Password Reset. A link will be sent to your email account allowing you to create a password for your account.

**Please Note:  

• There is a 1 hour time limit on your link before it expires and you’ll need to repeat the process again.
• If you don’t see the email in your inbox, check your SPAM folder

Also, for security, your password must have the following:

• At least 8 characters in length
• Not be based on a dictionary word
• Has not appeared in public lists of compromised passwords (Click here to check yours)

Logging Out

When you’re logged into your account, you’ll see your user name at the upper right hand side of your screen.  To the right of your user name is a small arrow that’s pointing down.  Click the arrow and select Logout on the menu.  You will also automatically be logged out when you close your browser window.  When you’ve logged out successfully, you’ll be taken back to the SwiftComply login screen. 

Using SwiftComly In Multiple Cities/ Orgs by Bookmarking:

As Swiftcomply continues to expand, it is more likely you will test for more than one organization. For example, Bob's Backflow Testers is a backflow company that may reside in both DALLAS and HOUSTON TX. As a result, users will need unique URL links for both jurisdictions in order to access their individual organization accounts.

We highly recommend that you bookmark each individual jurisdiction to your web browser for easy access when needed Bookmarks, also known as Favorites, are a list of shortcuts to web pages that a user saves in their web browser so that they can access them quickly and easily in the future.

To bookmark a page Press Ctrl+D, or click the  icon to the right of the address bar.

Here are a few more tips and tricks to help organize your multiple water organizations:

• Using the same email to reach the organization (if possible)
• Each city/organization uses unique URL links for security purposes, we suggest bookmarking them (as shown above).
• You will need to re-enroll to gain access to each jurisdiction due to data-sharing regulations.
• Each city. organization may have different compliance settings around replacement assemblies procedure. You can reach out to support directly for more information regarding these procedures.

Browser History & Clearing Cache

Why do we care about browser history?

Ever start typing an address in your web browser address bar and like magic, you get the site you wanted magically loaded into the address bar? That is your browser history hard at work.

Simply put, if you want to have to reenter the web address of sites even the ones you frequent, then delete the browser history each time you close your web browser.

Clearing the Cache

Most browsers work pretty much the same in these areas and use the somewhat same method to clear, although all have a slightly different way of accessing the settings area.

Here I will go through some of the main browsers used today.
