Resetting passwords for a single student
To easily search for and find a specific user at your school, you'll need to navigate to the School Settings area. You can do this by clicking on the cog icon in the bottom left navigation, and then over to the People area.
Search for, and click upon a student’s name to access their account within the People area of your school.
From their profile page, select Reset Password.
A temporary password will be generated for the student selected to pass on to them. If a student wishes to have their password reset via email, they can use the ‘Forgot Password’ flow on EP’s main login page.
Note: Teachers can only view student passwords when resetting them and issuing temporary passwords. Once students set their new passwords, it cannot be viewed for privacy and security reasons.
Resetting passwords for multiple students
As a teacher, you can select multiple students in your class to have their passwords reset at once. From the People tab in a Class View, choose which students you would like reset passwords for using the checkboxes beside student names and select the Reset passwords option.
Either confirm with the ‘Reset and download temporary password .csv’ or cancel. You can also remove any student selected from this modal.
Confirming this dialogue will automatically download the .csv to pass on temporary details to your student/s.
Using Single Sign On (no passwords)
If your school has SSO enabled, staff and students will need to log in through your school’s portal instead of the main EP login page. For further help logging into your school’s portal, check out our guide here.
