Password Reset-MFA

BCC has recently introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to provide an extra layer of protection for students’ information.

As part of this rollout, everyone must undergo a password reset. This process works on any web browser or BCCD networked Windows computer. We’ve simplified the process by creating a default password format using personal details you already have on hand.

Instructions and options have been listed below to guide you through the process. Should you need further assistance, a TLSC Zoom Room is available:
