To enable self-service password reset (SSPR) :


Register and provide two different methods for verifying your identity.  This will protect your account when you login or change a password.    

Microsoft requires two different methods of notification/verification for SSPR.  ITS recommends registering three different methods of verification, just to be safe. 

The options are: 

  • Downloading and using the Microsoft authenticator mobile app (iPhone or Android). 

  • Adding a mobile phone number at which you receive text messages or voice calls. 

  • Adding an non-bccc.edu personal e-mail address, such as GMail, Yahoo, or Hotmail. 

 

Pick at least two of the three listed.  Using your office phone number is not permitted.
