The Faria Accounts Portal lets you manage your primary sign-in for a Single Sign-On (SSO) experience across Faria products and supported partners.

Overview

The Accounts Portal allows you to:

  • Link multiple ManageBac+ user accounts (for example Parent and Teacher, or multiple campuses)
  • Link additional Faria services (for example OpenApply, SchoolsBuddy, Atlas, SpotLight)
  • Use ManageBac+ sign-in for supported partners (for example AssessPrep, BridgeU)

How SSO works

Once your accounts are linked, you can switch services or user accounts without repeatedly signing in. Your Accounts Portal credentials become your primary credentials for connected services.

First time sign-in

Verify first

To verify your account on the Accounts Portal, you may need to update your password to meet the “strong password” requirements. Admins should also ensure weak passwords are disabled so users can verify successfully.

Accounts Portal links

Global server: https://accounts.faria.org/
China server: https://accounts.faria.cn/

Sign in using your ManageBac+ credentials. You will receive an email to verify your email address.

Where to update your details

Once you are using the Accounts Portal, changes to your email or password should be made here (not within ManageBac+).

Forgotten password

If you updated your password in ManageBac+ by mistake, go to https://accounts.faria.org/ and select Forgot Password.

Accessing the portal

Quick access from ManageBac+

In ManageBac+, select the 9-tile grid (top right), then choose Manage Account Portal.

Direct access

You can also go directly to https://accounts.faria.org/.

Review and revoke sessions

Security tip

If you see any session you do not recognise, end it immediately and update your password.

In the Accounts Portal, open Profile then Sessions to view recent session activity. Select End Session to revoke any session.

Session log and revoke

You can link multiple ManageBac+ accounts so they appear under your linked accounts list and can be accessed from the 9-tile grid.

China Schools

Accounts on the China server can only be linked to other China server accounts. Use https://accounts.faria.cn/ for China server sign-in.

Authorising applications

Final step

After signing in, you may be asked to Authorise the application. This allows the service to authenticate your account and, in some cases, use details from your Accounts Portal profile. Click Authorise to confirm.

Switching Services

Once linked, you can switch services from the Accounts Portal home screen (service tiles), or from within ManageBac+ via the 9-tile grid under Switch Services.
