Manage TigerNetID Password - Fort Hays State University (FHSU)

Manage Your TigerNetID Password

FHSU uses Microsoft technology for TigerNetID password management/recovery. After completing the initial TigerNetID activation process, you can use the Account Management Portal to perform the activities listed below.

Manage Recovery Methods

The Microsoft Account Management Portal is used to manage your recovery methods for FHSU's Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) process.

Always add new recovery method(s) before deleting existing/old recovery method(s).
We recommend using the Authenticator app, along with another secondary recovery method.
If you wish to use an email address, you MUST use a personal email address, NOT an FHSU email address!

Go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info to manage your recovery methods. For detailed instructions, see the Manage Your Recovery Methods PDF.

Reset/Change TigerNetID Password

*IMPORTANT: Forget TigerNet Wi-Fi from your devices, except on the one you're using to change your password.
- Why? Your devices will continue using the old password and lock your account.
Go to https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info.
Enter your FHSU email address and then sign in.
On the Password row, click Change (see image below).
Enter your new password, and then enter it again to confirm. Your new password must follow these rules:
- Must contain 12 or more characters
