Self-Service Password Reset Tool
Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) within Office 365 enables users to securely reset their University account password without contacting the IT&S Help Desk.
This service is currently only available to students and staff. If you would like to be added to this functionality please contact the IT&S Help Desk.
First time users will be guided to setup their SSPR options the next time they login to myMount/Office 365.
Before you can use SSPR you will have to confirm your authentication methods. We recommend setting at least two from the following three options:
- your mobile phone (to facilitate a verification text message)
- an alternate email address (to facilitate a verification email)
- security questions and answers
Refer to the SSPR Registration Guide for additional guidance on the setup process.

Refer the SSPR Reset Guide for details on how to use your verification methods to reset your password.
Once you have your new password, you may need to update any application that remembers your account settings, such as Outlook app or MSVU Wi-Fi, with the new password.
NOTE:
– If you change your password in Office 365 via SSPR, it may take up to 30 minutes for your new password to fully replicate to all University services.
– If you have not yet been transitioned to the Self-Service Password Reset Tool, you will need to contact the IT&S Help Desk to request a password reset. You may also request to be added to use the SSPR tool.
