# How to log in with a LinkManager Account

This article provides information about how to log in with a LinkManager account on the GateManager Web portal. Before you begin with this guide make sure you have received the initial E-mail containing password and certificate.

2. Save the attached lmc file or LinkManager Certificate.
3. Click on the login link (see image on no. 1) to directly access the LinkManager site.

- Password must contain characters from three of the following four categories:
- English upper case letters (A through Z)
- English lower case letters ( a through z )
- Numbers ( 0 through 9 )
- Special characters (for example, !, $, #, %)
- A user's previous 24 password cannot be reused.
