START HERE: CHANGE YOUR INITIAL PASSWORD TO A PASSPHRASE
Use your username, 8-digit student ID number, and initial password to set up your Morgan account using the password management tool. From the password management tool site, you'll be asked to provide a mobile phone number, set up challenge questions, and provide a non-Morgan email address. These pieces of information will be used to verify your identity when you subsequently manage your password. Review this document for step-by-step instructions on using the password management tool.

YOUR USERNAME
Your username is everything before the "@" symbol in your MSU email address. For example, the username for test01@morgan.edu would be test01. Your MSU email address was included in your acceptance letter/email (students). Your username never changes, whereas your password expires annually.

Note: Students who are also employed at the university may be assigned a separate MSU employee account. The username format will be firstname.lastname (first name + period + last name). University business related to your job should be conducted using your MSU employee account.

YOUR 8-DIGIT STUDENT
Your 8-digit student ID number was provided in your acceptance letter/email (for students). Store this number someplace where you can easily access it or, better yet, memorize it! The Service Desk will not provide account management services without your ID number.

YOUR INITIAL MORGAN ACCOUNT PASSWORD
Your initial password is formatted as follows:

(first letter of your first name capitalized + the first letter of your last name in lowercase + your 8-digit student/employee ID number + two exclamation marks)

Example:

Name - John Doe

ID Number - 12345678

Initial Password = Jd12345678!!

If you experience an issue with the initial password format, try entering the initial password without the two exclamation marks.

NOTE: Your initial password must be changed to a passphrase using the password management tool before attempting to access any Morgan system or application.

EXAMPLE OF STRONG PASSPHRASES

The following is just an example. Do not use it as your passphrase!

Phrase - I love Morgan Bears

Passphase - IloveM0rganBe@rs
