If your e-mail address is not accepted by Sésame, contact your laboratory manager to make sure that:

  • you are registered in the CNRS Réséda Personnel repository
  • the professional email address you have entered is the correct one
If you have a CNRS e-mail address (prenom.nom@cnrs.fr), your mailbox must have been activated so you can check your e-mails. If this is not the case, contact your local support.

If you do not receive the e-mail sent by Sésame, make sure that it has not arrived in your spam folder. If this is not the case, contact your local email administrator to make sure that the email is not being blocked by a security rule.

First time login, forgotten password or expired password? Help

If it is your first time login, if you forgot your password or if your password is expired, you can use the reset procedure to set a new password. This procedure is carried out in 2 steps:

Step 1: Sending the request

  • Enter the email address. For CNRS units staff or contractor and service user (UHPI), this is the email address declared in Réséda Personnel by your HR manager. If your e-mail address is not recognised, please contact your laboratory HR manager.
  • Check the security box "I am not a robot" and valid the e-mail sending.
  • 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!
