Changing Your Password

Modified on: Fri, Feb 2 2024 8:46 AM

The password change process is the same for students, faculty, and staff. 

 

Take a look at the attached video.


or,


Navigate to: 

https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/

Follow the instructions at the site.

 

 


Make your password strong

A minimum of 8 and a maximum of 127 characters, and must have three out of four of the following:

  • Lowercase characters.
  • Uppercase characters.
  • Numbers (0 - 9).
  • Special characters.

 

 


Here are some ideas for creating passwords you can remember

 

1. Take an expression a friend always uses, for instance,

“Oh man! That’s gotta hurt”

    Use the first letters of the words to translate it into a password 

0-m!-Tgh

 

2. Or, think of some odd phrase with no meaning

My handle low door right? 

 

In the second case you want to make it somewhat long.  Maybe 20-30 characters.

 

Essentially you create something you can remember but is hard to guess by a computer.

Warning don’t use those examples, since now they are public knowledge. 😊
