How to change ECU password


 

 

Step 1:

Sign in at  https://www.microsoft365.com/ using your ECU username

and current password.

  • Choose 'Work or School Account' if prompted.

Step 2:

In  the upper right corner click the gearwheel icon to reveal Settings

and then scroll down to Password / Change your password.

Step 3:

 Enter your old password, add and then confirm a new password.

  • Choose a password with at least 12 characters; length is more important than complexity
  • It is OK to use a memorable combination of words, numbers and symbols, 
  • as long as they are random (e.g. 8-Jello-sunset$).
  • Never choose popular phrases (e.g. I-Love-You, taking-care-of-business).
