The password will need to be obtained from FOS Support (this changes weekly).
Select "OK" to save.
* For non-specific customer downloads, ie. self-hosted customers looking for the update files, the password will change frequently so you may need to reach out to FOS Support.
* For customer specific downloads, ie. customers receiving a copy of their data, please use the username and password you were provided in place of the generic credentials referenced.
