• It's a simple, secure, self-service web application that enables end users to manage their network password.
• First Time registration may occur when logging into any TDSB and Microsoft Resources with your TDSB Credentials e.g. Brightspace, Office.com, TDSB Connects, My TDSB, My Info except for Academic Workspace* or Google Apps for Education*.

• When a user  has forgotten their password they can connect to SSPR by browsing to https://aka.ms/setupsecurityinfo or
  • by clicking on the "Forgot my Password" link from a TDSB School desktop computer or laptop via the Windows login page or
