Bidders & Passwords

January 2023: the current dashboard release has new graphics and some interface changes. Many screenshots still reflect the older release and will be updated shortly.

If you are doing online bidding, then by default, bidders will be prompted to create a password when they sign up.

This is part of the registration process and happens after the bidder has filled in the Contact details part of the registration form.

Auctria associates a password directly with an email address, not any specific event. If a bidder registered in a previous year, or for a different event, and set up a password at that point, they would be required to enter their password again to register rather than setting up a new one.

TIP

Bidders are required to register for the specific event even if they already have an email and password credential set with Auctria.

It is not possible to change the bidder's password as an event organizer since the password may be associated with multiple events the bidder is involved in. Any page that asks for a password will also offer a "Forgot your password" link (just in case). See Bidders In Online Auctions for more details on other ways bidders can be identified in online events.
