How can I reset my password using MFA?

You can reset your password for all systems (including MyBeckett) without contacting the Library if you have at least two types of multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Please read our guidance for registering for MFA and adding more methods.

Please follow the steps below.

  1. Go to https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/
  2. Enter your student email address (the one ending @student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk)
  3. On the next screen select the 'I forgot my password' option and click 'Next'.
  4. You will now have several options to choose from for verifying that it is you who is changing your password.
  5. Follow the instructions on screen. Once you have verified it is you, you will be prompted to reset your password.
  6. Please remember to use at least 1 capital letter, 1 lower case, 1 number and at least 12 characters. Microsoft may tell you that your password is too easily guessed. We recommend using a special character (such as # @ ! etc., but NOT £) to make your password as secure as possible.

If you are unable to authenticate your account for a password reset, please contact the Library.

If you know your password but your account is locked, you can unlock it without a password reset.
