How to Change Your Security Question

For added security, you will be asked to answer a security question when trying to reset the password for your school account.

For some younger students, the security question is preset to Name of this city? with the answer: Newburyport

If you need to change your security question, you can do so from a web browser on any device by using our Single Sign-On (SSO) portal:

newburyport-k12.okta.com

After clicking the link above, you will be brought to our SSO login page.

Please sign in with your username (not your full email) and current password.

You will see a dropdown menu that allows you to select a Question, as well as a text box below where you put in your answer. One of the dropdown options is "Create your own security question". If you choose this option, another text box will appear that allows you to write your own question.

After you are done selecting a question and providing an answer, click the Save button.
