First time login or forgotten password? Help

First time login
If it is your first time login or if you forgot your username, this procedure allows you to get your username by email:

Choose your status (CNRS or external) and enter the email address declared in Réséda Personnel. You must also check the security box 'I am not a robot'.
We send you an email with your username and a link that allows you to enter a new password for a limited time.

Forgotten password
If you forgot your password, the reset procedure allows you to set a new password. This procedure is carried out in 2 steps:

Step 1: Sending the request

Choose your status (CNRS or external) and enter the email address declared in Réséda Personnel. You must also check the security box 'I am not a robot'.
We send you an email with your username and a link that allows you to enter a new password, for a limited time.

If you do not have access to your mailbox, this first step can be proceeded by the Sesame administrator. He/She will give you a reset code to use on the page https://sesame.cnrs.fr/password-reset/token and let you access to step 2.

Step 2: Entering the Password

Click on the link contained in the email, or copy it into the address bar of your browser. We will draw your attention to the fact that you must use the same browser that was used for the request!
Then enter a new password that is compatible with the stated rules.
When you submit your new password, the link becomes invalid and cannot be reused. Your new password is active.

Notes:

We will never ask you for your current password. In any case, never share your password with anyone.
Your password is written in an unreadable form in the CNRS reference documents, it is in no way kept in clear and cannot be returned: only you are aware of it!
