Why do I have to update my username and password?
To enhance security, Lyve Management Portal is transitioning to a username-based authentication system. As part of this transition, you will need to create a username and a new password to be used when logging in to Lyve Management Portal.
How will this change how I log in to Lyve Management Portal?
Going forward, when you log in to Lyve Management Portal, you’ll enter:
Your new username, instead of the email address you used previously.
Your new password, instead of your old password.
Why do I need a new device-based code, and why won't my old one work anymore for recovery?
Device based codes help you recover your account access in case you lose your registered two-factor authentication device (for example, your mobile phone). With this new security enhancement, Seagate cannot retain your old recovery code, so we will provide you with a new one when you create your new username and password.
How do I make this transition?
Depending on whether you gain access to the Lyve Management Portal from email, or go there directly in your web browser, will dictate the flow of the process.
See below for the steps on each flow.
