I signed up via Google SSO and when I try to change my password (I currently have no password) to access a file that requires a strong password, I repeatedly get an error message.


I am unable to set up my password.


There are lots of posts about this and none of them have an answer - this is a clear bug in the system that would be helpful if it was fully addressed for the community rather than at the individual level. Feel free to respond with the solution here.

Hi Joy, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 


In order to setup a password for your Box account. You should follow the steps below. 


  1. Visit https://app.box.com/reset and enter the email address associated with your Box account.

  2. Check your email, you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.

  • Password reset links sent via email expire 3 hours after they are sent. If you need a new link after your current one has expired, visit https://app.box.com/reset to have another link emailed to you.

  • If you do not receive an email from Box for this password reset, check to see if your Box account is associated with that specific email address or another email address.

  • Also, check your spam folder in your email client for this email.

Thanks for posting!
