I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

You can change your password by going to Microsoft Password Online Reset.

Your PurplePass account is in the user@niagara.edu format
- For employees, 'user' is your account name
- For students this is in the s0000000@niagara.edu format, with 0000000 being your student ID number
You will then be prompted to verify your phone number and/or receive a text code or phone call with a code which will allow you to choose a new password.
Passwords must be a minimum of 14 characters long, and require at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 number and a special character such as ! or #.
Passwords cannot contain any part of your name (first or last), or sequential numbers (such as 1234).
This will update your password to such systems as student email, myNU, Canvas, and Self Service.
