Login Link Generator
Generate a bookmarklet that logs you into any ServiceNow instance with one click.
Use the generator widget below to create a bookmark link that you can drag into your bookmarks or bookmark bar. Clicking this bookmark automatically logs you into the instance you specify.
In the Bookmarklet text field, give the bookmarklet a useful name, such as Prod, Dev, or UAT. If you work for multiple companies, you might call it Company 1 - Dev, or something along those lines.
Generate your login bookmark
Build a direct ServiceNow login link in this browser. Instance, bookmark text, and username can be remembered locally; the password field is never saved.
Drag this link to your bookmarks bar:
NOTE: On the latest versions of ServiceNow, you may need to set the
glide.security.restrict.get.loginsystem property tofalse.
When you click Generate Link, the generator automatically percent-encodes the username and password values in the generated URL. The link will appear just below the form itself. Note that encoding is not the same as encrypting, and you should ensure that your stored bookmarks are encrypted (such as with Google Chrome) if you’re going to store your password in a bookmark.
Obviously you should not share this link with anyone, as it would log them in as you if they used it! It’s up to you to determine if you want to use this login link or not.
After generating the login link, just drag it to your bookmarks, or bookmarks toolbar folder.
As you can see by inspecting the source code, this is a simple script that does not save or send any data to the server, or anywhere else. The generator can remember your instance, bookmark text, and username locally in your browser, but it does not store your password. Of course, entering your password into a webpage that is not the site that the password’s for, is something you should always be hesitant to do - that’s why I’ve written this tool entirely in pure, simple javascript, which you can inspect for yourself (and use if you prefer), over at the CodePen page.
