Once on this page, if the applicant has forgotten their password, a password reset may be requested at any time. ## Styling and social links The example images show institutional branding around the login form. Use [branding files](/v1/docs/branding-in-slate) to change the page layout, colors, fonts, and institutional header and footer. Open **Database** → **Branding Editor** to edit and preview these files. See [Branding Editor](/v1/docs/branding-editor) for the workflow, and test branding changes in your test environment. The social icons in the institutional footer link to social media pages. Add or change these links in your branding. The **Login with Google**, **Login with Facebook**, and **Login with LinkedIn** buttons let applicants sign in. To configure these buttons, follow [Enabling login via social media accounts](/v1/docs/application-login-page#enabling-login-via-social-media-accounts) below. ## Editing the login page The login page can be configured to include a custom title, custom instructions, and a custom footer. To add these customizations: 1. Go to **Database → Application Editor**. 2. Select `/apply/`. 3. Select **Login Page**. 4. Select **General Settings.** [![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/13638843766811.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T18%3A17%3A07Z&se=2026-11-12T19%3A17%3A07Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=0z0ybajLWuf6aXmIEUpFjN6nsnGotPGfc6k2w73VzFQ%3D)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/13638843766811.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T18%3A17%3A07Z&se=2026-11-12T19%3A17%3A07Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=0z0ybajLWuf6aXmIEUpFjN6nsnGotPGfc6k2w73VzFQ%3D) ## How the “Forget Your Password” feature works 1.
