There are two options you may use to reset your WPI password. For either option, it may take up to thirty minutes for WPI systems, including email, to allow access using your new password.

Self Service Password Reset

If you have already established your authentication methods for the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) feature, please navigate to the Reset WPI Password action to change your password.

If you are unsure if you have configured authentication methods, navigate to the Update and Define Verification Methods action. If authentication is not yet configured, you will be prompted to set it up. 

Note:
In order to setup SSPR, you must know your password and it cannot be expired

Requirements

  • Access to a non-WPI email account and a phone (mobile or office)
  • Authentication Methods Configured
Note:
The links to setup verification and reset will take you to Microsoft sites.

Configure Authentication Methods

To enable this service, you must first define your verification methods. Follow instructions to Update and Define Verification Methods for a Phone Number and Email.

Update Password Reminder

If you need to change your password, you will need to ensure that your new password is changed anywhere you may have it saved. Common locations where passwords are saved include:

  • Email clients on all devices
  • Canvas App
  • VPN Client
  • Keychain on an OSX device

Failure to update your password in all stored locations may trigger security lockout protocols.

  • Enable Phone Sign-In

    You can enable phone sign-in on your device through the Microsoft Authenticator application. This will allow you to login to your account without entering a password. To do so:

    1. Open the Microsoft Authenticator application on your device
    2. Select the Set up phone sign-in option
    3. Click Continue to register your device
      • You will need to enable a lock screen with a PIN, password, fingerprint, or pattern before you can use this sign-in method
    4. Enter your password and authenticate
    5. Register your device
