Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) for students - Effective Feb. 5, 2024

What’s new?

Beginning Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, it will be easier than ever for Georgia College & State University students to manage their GCSU account, which gives access to Unify and Microsoft products. The new password reset system, Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset, or SSPR for short, allows you to change, reset and unlock your password.

Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) is a feature of Microsoft 365 that ensures that you will never lose access to your account. It allows you to set up alternative verification methods so that if you lose your password, you can verify your identity and reset your password–without needing to contact AskIT@gcsu.edu.

SSPR Features:

• Easy enrollment anytime, anywhere
• Password recovery through email or mobile phone
• Enroll on a mobile phone for easy password recovery
• Offers more protection against cybersecurity threats

Please note that the Mypassword tool will be going away on May 31, 2024.

Please complete the SSPR registration by providing the information requested.

What do you need to do?

If you have not previously done so, set up additional authentication methods for your GCSU account through Microsoft. We recommend using at least two different methods. Select Password Reset - Microsoft SSPR from the accordion menu to view detailed instructions.
