Customer sign in

Customers have easy access to their accounts from every page in your store. Depending on the configuration, customers can be redirected to their account dashboard, or continue shopping after they log in to their accounts.

If CAPTCHA is enabled in the configuration, the person must correctly complete a test that verifies them to be human, before gaining access to their accounts.

When customers forget their passwords, a reset link is sent to the email address that is associated with the account. The Password Options configuration controls the customer experience for login attempts:

  • The number of times a customer can attempt to enter a password
  • The number of minutes between attempts
  • The number of total attempts before the account is locked
  • The length of the lockout
