Change the password to your student account

Here is a step-by-step guide to changing the password to your student account. There are several ways in which you can get a new password, but we highly recommend that you start on your own by changing your password via idportal.ki.se using e-identification or Office365, by logging into myaccount.microsoft.com with the help of the Microsoft Authenticator app and your student email address.

Change your password via the ID-portal

Log in to idportal.ki.se using an e-identification. Click on "Reset password", choose a new password and then "Submit".
Please note that you must have raised your assurance level on your student account first!

Change your password via Office365

To change the password to your student account, you need to log into myaccount.microsoft.com using your student email address. Upon login, you verify your identify using the identification method that you have chosen for two-step verification. The most common method is to verify your identify using the Microsoft Authenticator app.

To directly access the page in Office365 where you can change your password, use this link:

It is also possible to change the password if you click the menu choice "Overview" and "Change password" when you are logged into My Account.

When you are urged to change your password, you must first enter your old password, and then choose a new one. Please note that you are not allowed to reuse old passwords.

To change the password to your student account you should log into myaccount.microsoft.com using your student email adress. Can't remember your password? Then you will be urged to reset it. You can also click the link "Forgot my password".

Now you need to provide a code that is sent to your cell phone. In case you have installed the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone and connected it to your student account, you will be able to use the Authenticator app to verify your identify in this step.
