About student passwords
To prevent students from logging into other Kodable accounts, teachers can add passwords for their students. Passwords can be enabled and disabled for any class at any time on the teacher dashboard but cannot be reset or customized.
Students will still need to enter their class code before they enter a password to get into their profile.
How to set up passwords
Passwords are set up in the 'Class Settings' section of a class on the teacher dashboard.
There are three options for passwords:
None:
This is the default option and how classes are set up when created by a teacher. Students simply select their name to log into their account after entering their class code.
Picture password:
Picture passwords are a great option for pre-readers.
Students will be assigned a random picture, visible on their Code Cards.
When students enter their class code and select their profile, they will need to select their picture password from a set of pictures to log in successfully.
If students enter their picture password incorrectly, they will be prompted to ask for teacher help.
If a student has three failed attempts, the profile will be locked for one minute.
Text password:
Text passwords are a more secure option for older students.
Students will enter the class code and then select their profile.
Students are given a password field to type their password into.
Text passwords are the same as the parent code assigned to each profile and are visible on the Code Cards for your class, as well as your class roster.
How to find student passwords
You can look up student passwords on your teacher dashboard under the "My Classes" tab by clicking on "Students" once you're on the class page.
You'll see the student profile name with their picture password and parent code (text password) if you've chosen the "picture password" option.
If you've chosen the "text password" option, you'll only see the parent code, which is the text password.
