User accounts that have been locked can be reactivated at any time. Practice administrators can self-manage locked staff user accounts quickly without needing to contact Kareo Support.

User accounts become locked for the following reasons:

  • An administrator selects Lock User on the Edit User page.
  • A user reaches the maximum number of failed login attempts. Tip: The maximum number of attempts can be defined on the Security Policy page.

Once an account is locked, it appears in the Locked Users list under User Settings.

Navigate to User Settings

  1. Hover over the User icon in the top right of your screen and click Practice Settings to open the Practice Settings page.
  2. Click User Settings in the left menu. The User Settings window opens.
