# Authentication

## How to Authenticate

You have two options when logging into Zapp. You can authenticate via your ZAP-POST username and password or via your existing SMARTSlip account.&#x20;

If you wish to log in via your SMARTSlip account, you will be redirected to the SMARTSlip login page. You can then provide your username and password and will be automatically returned to the ZAPP.

## Password Reset

If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it using the link below the login area on <https://www.account.zappost.com>.&#x20;

Alternatively, you can visit: <https://account.zappost.com/account/requestresetpassword>
