Your Passwords

At MLC you have two primary accounts to keep track of: your MLC Account and your MLC Google Account. This page will outline some information on passwords for those two accounts.

MLC Account

We have recently rolled-out the ability for students, faculty, and staff to request a password reset without the need to contact Network Services directly. Here is how you can do it:

Change Your Password

  1. enter your current MLC Account username and password
  2. click Login
  3. on the next page, click on Change Password
  4. follow the instructions to create your new password and then click Change Password near the bottom of the page
  5. wait for the system to complete the password change and then you are ready to go

Reset Forgotten Password

  1. click on Forgotten Password
  2. successfully fill out the resulting verification code and click Verify
  3. enter your MLC Username and click Search
  4. an email will be sent to your recovery address (by default, set to your MLC Email Account)
  5. check your recovery email address and either click on the link in the email or copy-and-paste the resulting code into the text field on the forgotten password site and click Check Code
  6. follow the instructions to create your new password and then click Change Password near the bottom of the page
  7. wait for the system to complete the password change and then you are ready to go

Find My Username

Because you need your MLC Username in order to reset a forgotten password, we have also supplied the ability to find out your MLC username as well.

  1. click on Forgotten Username
  2. successfully fill out the resulting verification code and click Verify
  3. enter your current recovery email address and your current last name and then click Search
  4. the resulting page will give you your MLC username and an email will also be sent to your current recovery email address

As a tip, if it is not finding your username, attempt to enter your maiden name if you have married since you last attended Martin Luther College.

Updating Recovery Email and/or Last Name

Maybe you don't want your recovery email to be set to your MLC Email Account or your last name has changed. That's okay! We are working to provide the facility to update your own recovery email address and change your last name, but for now you will need to file a support ticket with Network Services to update that information and also fill out the Information Verification portion of the MLC Portal to make sure everything is updated appropriately.

MLC Google Account

MLC offers each member of the campus family a Google for Education account to have and use. These accounts are provided by Google and currently have their own password functionality attached to them separate from your MLC Account.

If you have issues accessing your account, please use Google's own recovery site to attempt to recover your username and/or password. You can also find more documentation on Google's support site under the article titled Change or reset your Google Account password.

You will not be prompted to change your password unless we have reason to believe that your account has been compromised.

If you are still having issues, please file a support request with Network Services.
