Accounts and sign-in
Abacus has three apps, and which one you use depends on your role:
| App | Address | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Trainer | my.abacus.training/<your-school> | Students (and instructors who want to see what students see) |
| Management | manage.abacus.training | Instructors and administrators |
| Authoring | admin.abacus.training | Administrators who write rules and recipes |
For students
Your instructor gives you a link like https://my.abacus.training/brainstorm and two things:
- a login — eight digits, for example
09164287 - a password — for example
N7kp-4Wqx
Type the login exactly as written, including any leading zero. The login is a random number, not your name, so it is safe to write on a card.
After you sign in, open Account (the person icon) to change your password or get a new random login.
For instructors
In the management app, Students → Create student makes the account and shows the login and password once:
Shown once
The password is stored only as a one-way hash, so it cannot be shown again. Copy it before closing the dialog. If it is lost, use Reset password — the old password stops working and a new one is shown once.
- Reset password also signs the student out everywhere.
- Disable stops a student signing in and ends their sessions; Enable restores them.
- Instructors manage students. Administrators additionally manage instructors, and the trainer itself in the admin app: its content (presets) and its look (themes: name, logo and colour).
If someone is locked out
There is no email or phone recovery. Ask the next person up: an instructor resets a student, an administrator resets an instructor.
