I am trying to open a shared document, but it says I first need to create a strong password. Since I used Google sign-in, there seems to be no current password. I get an error message in the account settings.

Hi Leka, 

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!
