Password Station
What is Password Station?
Password Station is a self-service utility that allows users to change, reset and unlock their computer password. Your computer username and password are used to access numerous online services such as the MyIona Single Sign-On System, Office 365, Blackboard, PeopleSoft, and many others. The Password Station account can be activated right after the user receives their username and temporary password.
Important Note:
If you have forgotten your password or have been locked out of your account, you will need to be able to receive a randomly generated authorization code to your cell phone or email address and answer your security questions in order to gain access to your account.
