After July 2021, the 2.3.x release line no longer received quality updates or user guide updates. PHP 7.3 reached end of support in December 2021, and Adobe Commerce 2.3.x reached end of support in September 2022. We strongly recommend upgrading to Adobe Commerce 2.4.x to help maintain PCI compliance.

This site contains archived merchant documentation for a version of Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source that has reached end-of-support. The documentation available here is intended for historical reference only and is not maintained. The Adobe Commerce Merchant Documentation for current releases is published on the Adobe Experience League.

You will first learn how to sign in and out of the Admin and how to reset your password. All of the instructions in the rest of this guide are written for a user with full administrative privileges and begin with the assumption that you are logged in to the Admin. See Permissions for more info about Admin users and roles.

The Advanced Admin configuration determines how many times an admin user can try to log in before the account is locked. By default, six attempts are allowed. See Locked Users for information about unlocking a user account.

Depending on Admin configurations, you may also need to resolve a CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA or enter a configured Two-Factor Authentication code.

When entering your credentials, the username and password may automatically populate if your browser is set to use the autocomplete function. If enabled, you can save your credentials for the Magento Admin login page.
