New Self-Service Password Reset Functionality

IS&T recently rolled out a new Office365 feature. Self-Service Password Reset will make it easier than ever for you to recover your password if you ever forget it or get locked out. You will be able to reset, unlock or change your password with the added security of having an extra verification method, all without having to contact the Solution Center. IS&T’s hope is that this functionality will make your day easier when you have issues with your passwords. Be on the lookout for an email that will tell you when you can start using this functionality and how to set up your account.
