Faculty, staff, and students should set password recovery options so that they can reset their passwords (create new ones) if they forget them.

Setting up NetID Password Recovery Options
- Navigate to the NetID website.
- Hover your cursor over My NetID at the top of the page.
- Click the fourth second option, Set Password Recovery Options. The best approach is to set your secondary contact information using either a personal email or a mobile phone number.
Warning |

It is highly recommended that you do each password recovery option as a separate step, as both the email and text options contain verification codes. |
Secondary Email
- Enter a personal email address (not @uconn.edu) in the Secondary Email Address field.
- Click Save Changes.
- Log in to the email account provided.
- From your inbox, open the email from netid@uconn.edu. This email message will provide a verification code you will need to copy or write down.
- Enter the verification code into the field provided on the NetID website.
- Click Submit to complete the process. You will be returned to the Password Recovery page if the process was successfully completed. Here, you will see a new option to remove the current email address listed.
