# LREI Connect / Blackbaud ID - Login and Password resets

LREI Connect is hosted by Blackbaud. User authentication to LREI Connect is managed by Blackbaud, using their product called Blackbaud ID. This is a bit different than in previous years, in that this method involves logging in with your e-mail rather than a custom username.

\
Log in to LREI Connect ***with the e-mail address associated with your Connect account***. Enter your e-mail in the “Username or Email” field and click on the “Next” button.\

Click on “Sign in with Google.” This should get you into your Connect account and you’ll no longer need a separate Connect password.\
\
If your e-mail is NOT hosted by Google, you will not see the windows above. Instead, you will be prompted to create an account password. <br>

Click on the link on the bottom right “Forgot login or First time logging in” (follow the instructions once you click that link.)
