# Log In to RTOSafe

Log in at [**app.rtosafe.com.au**](https://app.rtosafe.com.au) — worth bookmarking.

***

## Your First Login

Once an admin at your RTO adds you, you'll get a welcome email with one of two buttons:

* **Set Your Password** — create a password, then log in with your email and new password
* **Login to RTOSafe** — your RTO uses Google or Microsoft sign-in, so just sign in with your work account

***

**Forgotten your password?** See [Reset Your Password](/help/staff-forgot-password). If you use Google or Microsoft sign-in, reset it with them instead.

## Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

If your RTO requires MFA, you'll set it up with an authenticator app on your phone the first time you log in with a password — see [Set Up MFA on Your Account](/help/mfa-setup). After that, you'll enter a code from the app each time. Google and Microsoft sign-in users don't need it.

### New phone or lost your authenticator app?

There are no backup codes, so ask a compliance admin at your RTO to [reset your MFA](/help/mfa-reset). You'll set it up again next time you log in. If you're the only admin, email **support@rtosafe.com.au**.

## Working Across More Than One RTO

If you have access to more than one RTO (for example, as a consultant), select **Switch RTO** in the bottom left, then **Switch** next to the RTO you want.

## Common Issues

<details>

<summary><strong>"403 Forbidden" page when I open the login page</strong></summary>

For security, RTOSafe only accepts connections from Australia. To fix it, either:

* **Switch your VPN** to an Australian location, or turn it off
* **Working overseas long-term?** Email **support@rtosafe.com.au** with your static IP address

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>"No account found with this email address"</strong></summary>

Check you're using the email your RTO registered you with. If you are, your admin may not have added you yet.

<summary><strong>My welcome email never arrived or the link has expired</strong></summary>

Check your spam folder. Otherwise, set a password using [Reset Your Password](/help/staff-forgot-password).
