Edit Login Details and Recover Lost Passwords

This page covers details on how to change your MinuteDock login email/password and what to do when you have forgotten your password and can't log in.

You can edit your user name, login email and password at any time when you are logged into MinuteDock.

Edit your user information

Your user preferences and login information can be edited from the Profile screen:

  • Click Profile at the top right of your MinuteDock screen

  • Edit your name and login email under Update Your Details

  • Enter a new password and click the Change Password button to confirm your changes

User preferences (two factor authentification, passkeys, and personal time tracking settings)

  • You can turn on two factor authorisation for your login by clicking the Start Verification button

  • Upload an avatar image to let your Reports show on your Time Entries, letting you see who logged what at a glance

  • Enable or disable email notifications from MinuteDock

  • Quick-Log Mode and Night-Owl mode are time tracking options to let you restart the Timer instantly after logging an entry, and log Time Entries started prior to Midnight on the day they were begun, rather than the date they were logged.

Passkey

When you create a Passkey, your device generates a pair of cryptographic keys. A private key stays securely on your device (or in your synced device keychain, such as iCloud or Google Password Manager), and a public key is stored by MinuteDock.

When you sign in, your device uses the private key to prove it's really you, without ever sending the private key or any password to MinuteDock. The private key never leaves your device.

Why a Passkey is more secure than a password

A password is a shared secret: you send it to MinuteDock, and a version of it is stored on our side. That creates several weak points a Passkey avoids.

  • Nothing secret is transmitted. Your private key never leaves your device, so there's no password travelling over the network for someone to intercept.

  • Nothing useful is stored to steal. A Passkey can't be exposed in a data breach the way a password database can.

  • It resists phishing. A Passkey is tied to MinuteDock's real web address, so it won't work on a fake lookalike site designed to capture your login.

  • It can't be guessed or reused. There's no memorable or reused string to crack, and no password to leak from another site you've signed up to.

  • Strong protection is built in. Unlocking your Passkey needs your fingerprint, face, or device PIN, so secure sign-in happens by default without setting up a separate two-step code.

Set up Passkeys for MinuteDock

From your Profile screen, you can click manage your passkeys to open the Passkeys screen, where you can create Passkeys for your MinuteDock login to further secure your account.

On the Passkeys screen, click Add a Passkey to set up your MinuteDock passkey.

Recover a lost password

If you are unable to log into MinuteDock, you can issue a password reset to the email address used in your login credentials.

At the log in screen, click Forgot your password? and enter your login email before clicking Send reset confirmation.

Check your email for the password reset notification — you can set a new password by following the instructions in the password reset email.

Your password reset link is valid for a few hours only, so if it expires you will need to issue a new one.

If you can't find the reset email:

The first thing to check is if it got caught up in any spam filter: search for it in your spam folder.

Another common thing is if the email you entered in the password reset screen had a typo — try resending a new confirmation and double check you have used the correct email for your MinuteDock login.

If you still aren't receiving the reset email, reach out to our support team (team@minutedock.com) for more help.
