Reset your password
You may need to periodically update your password. You should only update passwords through University systems. If you receive an unsolicited email, phone call, or text that asks you to update your password, use caution. It may be a malicious phishing attempt.
To reset your CSU password (or to set up a password as a new user), visit https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/ and enter your CSU email address.
