The following process works for those who have updated their contact information, either through the "Update Contact Info" button in Moodle or by updating through the Bruin Portal Contact Information. Otherwise you will need to come to campus and have your password manually reset. 

Step 1: Go to https://aka.ms/mfasetup and enter your KCC email address and then click on Next

Step 6: Enter a brand new password, one that has not been previously used. 

Password Complexity - Must be more than 14 characters and will need to have at least 3 of the 4 parameters below.

  1. Upper case letters (ex. ABC)
  2. Lower case letters (ex. abc)
  3. Numbers (ex. 0123)
  4. Special characters (ex. !@#$%^&*)

Previously used passwords, weak passwords, or passwords that Microsoft have deemed compromised will NOT work. Please create a new password. 

We recommend using a combination of words or a phrase that includes a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. The benefit of this is having a password that is easy to recall and meets the complexity requirements without containing personal information.
