## **Signing In**
Click the Sign In button from the KBase website or KBase Narrative Interface. Select the identity provider you chose when you signed up for your KBase account, and use the credentials as you would when signing into the that provider's website. You can [link multiple accounts to sign into KBase](https://docs.kbase.us/manage-account/link-accounts).
## How do I set or reset my password?
If you signed up for KBase and your password does not seem to work, you may reset your password at any time with the identity provider who manages it. KBase itself does not manage passwords of its own, so all password management must be done through your identity provider.
If the last time you logged into your KBase account was prior to June 2017, see the [authentication update page](https://docs.kbase.us/getting-started/sign-up/auth-update).
{% hint style="danger" %}
If your authentication provider is managed by someone else, you may lose access to your KBase account. It is strongly recommended to attach a secondary authentication method you control to your account.
