How to reset your password and set up MFA through InsideCBU for the first time
This article will explain the steps to changing your password for the first time through InsideCBU and setting up Muti-Factor Authentication (MFA). This password is what applies for your InsideCBU login, computer login and other logins that use SSO (single sign-on).
Instructions
Navigate to InsideCBU - Welcome to InsideCBU! | InsideCBU
-
If you know your current password, login on the top right with your username (usually this is first letter of your first name and last name) and click continue.
-
This will take you to CBU’s SSO page. Here you will authenticate by signing in with your current credentials.
This will be your username@calbaptist.edu - for students it is your ID number - for staff/faculty it is your first initial and last name with an 8 character max.
-
Now you will set up MFA (muti-factor authentication). Choose the Next button.
-
The default authentication method is to use the free Microsoft Authenticator app. If you have it installed on your mobile device, select Next and follow the prompts to add this account.
If you would rather use SMS messages sent to your phone instead, select I want to set up a different method. Microsoft 365 will ask for your mobile number, then send you an SMS message containing a 6-digit code to verify your device.
Once you complete the instructions to specify your additional verification method, the next time you sign in to Microsoft 365 (CBU SSO), you'll be prompted to provide the additional verification information or action, such as typing the verification code provided by your authenticator app or sent to you by text message.
-
Once your MFA is setup and you have authenticated your account you should now be able to change your password on InsideCBU. Navigate to the password change tab on the left. Here you can choose if you are a student or staff/faculty as each has different options.
7. You may be prompted to setup your challenge questions, please do so, then continue.
8. Now you will enter your old password and new password, then confirm. Be aware that this new password must be 12 characters and have a capital and special character.
