How Does Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) Work? SSPR Best Practices

The way Humber students, staff and faculty manage their passwords has changed. As of Monday, August 1, 2022 mypassword.humber.ca will be decommissioned. Users can utilize SSPR by visiting myaccount.humber.ca to change or reset their password.

Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) is a feature that enables users to reset their passwords without contacting ITS for help. Users can easily manage and recover their own passwords and continue working no matter where they are or time of day without the need to contact IT support.

The key benefits of enabling SSPR are:

  • It provides an intuitive one-time user registration process that allows users to reset passwords and unblock accounts on-demand from any device or location. SSPR allows users to get back to work faster and be more productive.
  • Self-service allows end users to reset their expired or non-expired passwords without contacting IT support.
