How to Reset Your FVSD Password
Having trouble logging in? This guide walks you through resetting your FVSD password.
Before You Start
Your FVSD account uses one password across all services — email, computer login, Google Workspace, and more. Changing your password will update it everywhere.

jsmith@fvsd.ab.ca) - Complete the verification step (you may be asked to confirm your phone number or answer a security question)
- Create a new password following the requirements below
- Click Submit
Option 2: Change Your Password While Logged In
If you can still log in but want to change your password:
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete on your keyboard
- Click Change a password
- Enter your current password
- Enter your new password twice
- Press Enter
Option 3: Reset via Microsoft 365 Online
