# Temporary password

***Temporary password*** are created automatically for new users who are invited to Devolutions Cloud and who do not have Devolutions Account. You can predefine how they are handled in ***Administration - System settings - General***. For an overview on the subject, see [General](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-security/system-settings/).

### Temporary password setup

#### Invite with existing Devolutions Account

In the invite process, when a Devolutions Account is found for the user, it will automatically link the account to Devolutions Cloud.

{% hint style="success" %}
In this case, the ***Temporary password*** is not being used since the account already exists.
{% endhint %}

The user will receive an invitation email with a link to Devolutions Cloud. To access it, the user logs in with their current Devolutions Account credentials.

#### Automatically handle temporary password for invitee with no Devolutions Account

When inviting a user who does not have a Devolutions Account, Devolutions Cloud will create the account and add the user in the vault.

In the process, you can choose to let Devolutions Cloud automatically handle the ***Temporary password*** and send it via the invitation email.

They will be reminded to change their password.

#### Manually handle temporary password for invitee with no Devolutions Account

When inviting a user who does not have a Devolutions Account, Devolutions Cloud will create the account and add the user in the vault.

In the process, you can choose to manually handle the ***Temporary Password*** from Devolutions Cloud.

In the ***Mass invite report*** window, you will be required to copy or download the ***Temporary password*** PDF for each of your users. This is mandatory, since they will need the ***Temporary password*** to access Devolutions Cloud.
