Our district utilizes Clever IDM for accounts. This guide walks you through logging into Clever for the very first time and setting up your permanent, secure Danvers password.
IMPORTANT: You must complete this before attempting to log into HR systems, including the Payroll Portal or the Absence and Substitute System.
1. Step-by-Step First-Time Login Instructions
- Navigate to Clever: Open your Chrome browser and visit: https://clever.com/in/danvers
This is also available in your danvers.org shared bookmarks folder, located in the top-left corner.
- Select Log In: Click on the Google login option on the portal page.
- Enter Username: Input your Danvers email address, which is firstnamelastname@danvers.org. Administrators, use lastname@danvers.org.
- Enter Temporary Password: When prompted for your password, enter your temporary password using the LastnameCurrentyear convention.
Use the correct capitalization, as these passwords are case-sensitive.
Examples:
| Staff Name | The Current Year | Temporary Password |
|---|---|---|
| John Sullivan | 2026 | Sullivan2026 |
| Marcus O'Connor | 2027 | O’Connor2027 |
| Ainsley Smith-Charter | 2028 | Smith-Charter2028 |
- Password Change Prompt: The system will prompt you to change your password.
2. Creating Your New Permanent Password
When the Change Password screen appears, fill in the required fields:
- Existing / Current Password: Re-enter your temporary password.
- New Password: Enter a new, secure password that meets security requirements.
Password Requirements & Best Practices:
- Make it Long: Aim for at least 10 characters.
- Mix it Up: Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers & symbols.
3. What Happens Next?
Once you successfully update your password:
- Automatic Syncing: Clever IDM will sync your new password across connected district systems, such as Computer logins and Google Workspace.
- Future Logins: For all future logins, use your district email/username and your newly created permanent password.
4. 2-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is required. Complete this setup within two weeks of your first sign-in to prevent your account from being automatically locked.
