Activate Your TigerNetID
TigerNetID is a unified username and password authentication system for most Fort Hays State University computing resources. Activation is the initial setup process for your TigerNetID login.
Do not allow anyone else to activate your TigerNetID. The Acceptable Use of Computing Resources Policy describes your responsibilities regarding your TigerNetID. Note: Students are able to provide parents or other third parties access to grades and/or financial information using the myFHSU app in Workday.
Follow these steps to activate your TigerNetID:
Change the initial password provided in your acceptance/onboarding email
and set up your password recovery method:
- Use the FHSU ID/Username Lookup Tool to find your 8-character FHSU ID Number and FHSU TigerNetID Username.
- Go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info.
- Enter your FHSU email address and initial password.
- A screen may appear asking for "More Information". Click Continue to set up your Self-Service Password Recovery (SSPR) method. This method allows you to reset your password if ever forgotten.
- For detailed instructions, view the How-To Video or Slideshow.
- You may not be prompted at this time. That's OK!
- Change your password: Click Change on the Password row.
- Enter your new password, and then enter it again to confirm. It must follow these rules:
- Must contain 12 or more characters
- Must not contain your first name, last name, or username
- Must be different from your previous 24 passwords
- Must contain 3 of these 4 items:
- UPPERCASE LETTERS
- Lowercase Letters
- Numbers
- Special characters (such as ; : ' " + = - _ [ ] . > , )
- Click Submit.
AFTER completing this initial TigerNetID activation process, you can Manage Your TigerNetID Password (update your recovery methods, change/recover your password, or unlock your account).
