The login widget controls user access to your site. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.

## Using the widget {#login-widget__section_twy_z3b_5kb}

Users log in to a portal by entering their credentials in the login widget.

The widget uses credentials from the User \[sys_user\] record. In the User name field, the user enters the User ID from their user
record. In the Password field, the user enters the password from their
user record.  
Abbildung : 1. Login widget  
The login widget by default includes a Forgot Password? link that enables users to reset their password using the Password Reset application. For more information about Password Reset configuration, see [Password Reset](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=password-reset-landing-page&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).  
Hinweis:  
When the user selects Forgot Password?, the system redirects the user to the page value specified in the glide.security.password_reset.uri system property.

If you don't want to include the Forgot Password? link, set the
glide.security.forgot_password.display.link system property to false.

## External user self-registration {#login-widget__section_x1g_zkb_5kb}

External user self-registration enables a large group of users to register to a ServiceNow app without the help of an administrator. Users register to the app via a link at the bottom of the login widget screen that says ""Don't have an account? Register".

For more information on external user self-registration, see [Enable external users to self-register to
your ServiceNow instance](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=external-user-self-registration&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

## PIV/CAC authentication {#login-widget__section_t4d_p35_4nb}

With certificate-based authentication activated in your instance, users can register their
Personal Identity Verification (PIV) or Common Access Card (CAC) card for Service Portal login.

After self-registering their PIV/CAC card, a user can log in by inserting their card into a
card reader and then selecting Login with PIV/CAC card on the login
widget.

Before a user can register their PIV/CAC card, an administrator must activate
certificate-based authentication and then set up PIV/CAC authentication. For more information on
this setup process, see [Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card
or Common Access Card (CAC) based authentication](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=certificate-based-authentication&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).

For more information on how a user self-registers their PIV/CAC card, see [Register your PIV/CAC card for Service Portal login](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wppTv~4JrA8vUlnMmASaLQ "Register your Personal Identity Verification (PIV) or Common Access Card (CAC) card so that you can log in to your organization's portal without entering a password.").
