Marquette University uses a registered phone number or secondary email address to reset forgotten or expired passwords.
This information is for current students, faculty and staff.
- To register for password recovery, go to https://www.marquette.edu/set. A Microsoft web page appears.
- Look for the green padlock and "Microsoft Corporation" label in the web browser address bar, signifying this is a valid and secure site, run by Marquette's partner, Microsoft.
Enter your Marquette email address (or click/tap your email address, if it appears) and click Next.
- A new Marquette University screen appears prompting you for your password. Enter your password and click or tap Sign in.
- Once you are logged in successfully, the "Don't lose access to your account!" page will open.
Note: There is a time limit on this page. You need to set up at least one method of recovering your password: Authentication Phone or Authentication Email.
Click or tap the Set it up now link for Authentication Phone, Authentication Email or set up both.
- A) If you choose Authentication Phone, you are prompted to provide your authentication phone number. From the drop-down menu, select your country or region. Then enter your phone number.
Choose text me or call me to verify your phone number.
- If you select text me, your phone will receive a Microsoft verification text with a multi-digit code. Enter that code in the text field provided on the web page and click or tap verify.
- If you select call me, you will receive an automated call. Press the pound key (the # symbol) to authorize your phone number.
B) If you choose Authentication Email, you are prompted to provide your authentication email.
Note: This email must be a non-Marquette email address. Enter your secondary email address and click or tap email me.
- You receive an email message with a verification code to your authentication email. Check your secondary email inbox and note the multi-digit code.
- Enter the code in the text field that appears on the web page and click or tap verify.
If you entered the code correctly, your authentication email will be verified6. You return to the "Don't lose access to your account!" page. Click or tap finish.
7. The "Applications" page opens.
