After successfully entering a valid date of birth, you will see a message advising you that your first login has been successful. Follow the link provided to change the temporary password that we created for you.

At the password change screen below, you set both your username and password. You will need to select a unique username; it could happen that the username you require has already been taken by someone also using myhrtoolkit. In that case, our advice is to just keep trying until you find one that is free to use.

Ensure your password is ‘strong’ and memorable to you.

There are guidelines on the page as to what makes a good password as well as requirements for a username. Usernames must be a minimum of 8 characters in length. They can also contain letters and numbers.
