How to get ready to use self-service password reset:

Please carry out the steps below to get ready to use self-service password reset:

2. Check to see if you have one of the following authentication (sign-in) methods set up for your account: Microsoft Authenticator App, a mobile phone text message or a mobile phone call.

Note: an authentication method is an additional way of checking that it is really you, when you use self-service password reset.
