All students have a random four numeric digit appended to the prefix of their SDSUid. This is to differentiate between faculty/staff accounts and student accounts. These numbers cannot be removed or changed.

Please make sure your password meets the following criteria for complexity: A minimum of 10 characters. Your password must include at least 1 character from each of the following sets: uppercase, lowercase, numerical, and special character. Passwords cannot be reused.
Students may visit the Name and Gender Change Procedures website to learn more about the process. Going through the previous procedure only affects your display name, and not your SDSUid. Your SDSUid will remain the same.
Non-ASCII characters are not passed through to the SDSUid account at this time. The IT Division is reviewing this limitation and is considering adding support for special characters in the first, last, and display-name fields.
I successfully changed my password 3 weeks ago. I still cannot get into my hotmail because upon entering my password, it wants to send a security code to my OLD phone number. There's no option to change the destination of the code. In my account details, it shows my NEW phone number. I've tried numerous ways to contact outlook support to no avail. 800-642-7676 recorded voice gives me the address of "support website," which tells me to log into my hotmail account for help! Duh. Another number, 843-894-7676 reached a guy who said "wrong number" and hung up.
Remember to keep your account recovery information up to date to prevent such issues in the future. Microsoft takes account security seriously, so the recovery process may take some time, but they should be able to help you regain access to your account.
An accurate and up-to-date email address, and/or phone number ensure you never lose access to your X account. There are a few ways to change your password, and keeping this information up to date simplifies resetting your account or password.
Note: Resetting your password will log you out of all your active X sessions. Additionally, password reset via text message isn't available to accounts that are enrolled in login verification. You can only reset your password through email.
If you frequently receive password reset messages that you did not request, it may be a good idea to turn on the Password reset protection in your account settings and set up two-factor authentication.
Note: If you cannot use any recovery methods, you have permanently lost access to your account. However, you can unlink an email address tied to the locked account. The unlinked email address can then be linked to a new or existing account. For more information, see "Unlinking your email address from a locked account."
Use one of your recovery codes to automatically regain entry into your account. You may have saved your recovery codes to a password manager or your computer's downloads folder. The default filename for recovery codes is github-recovery-codes.txt. For more information about recovery codes, see "Configuring two-factor authentication recovery methods."
Warning: If you protect your personal account with two-factor authentication but do not know your password, you will need to start a two-factor authentication recovery request. For more information, see "Request help with two-factor authentication."
If you have added a passkey to your account, you can use your passkey to automatically regain access to your account. Passkeys satisfy both password and 2FA requirements, so you don't need to know your password in order to recover your account. For more information, see "About passkeys."
If you configured two-factor authentication using a security key, you can use your security key as a secondary authentication method to automatically regain access to your account. For more information, see "Configuring two-factor authentication."
If you know your password for GitHub.com but don't have the two-factor authentication credentials or your two-factor authentication recovery codes, you can have a one-time password sent to your verified email address to begin the verification process and regain access to your account.
Note: For security reasons, regaining access to your account by authenticating with a one-time password can take up to three business days. GitHub will not review additional requests submitted during this time.
Click Send one-time password to send a one-time password to all eligible addresses associated with your account. Only verified emails are eligible for account recovery. If you've restricted password resets to your primary and/or backup addresses, these addresses are the only addresses eligible for account recovery.
A member of GitHub Support will review your request and email you within three business days. If your request is approved, you'll receive a link to complete your account recovery process. If your request is denied, the email will include a way to contact support with any additional questions.
If you have forgotten your password and you've lost access to your two-factor authentication credentials, you can start account recovery to regain access to your account. You'll need to verify your identity using a recovery authentication factor, such as an SSH key or previously verified device. If no recovery methods are available, you can choose to unlink your email address from your account.
Alternatively, if no recovery methods are available, you can choose to unlink your email address from your account. The email address is then available for you to link it to a new or existing account, maintaining your commit history. For more information, see "Unlinking your email address from a locked account."
