Reset Token Failed

If you've attempted to reset your password, you may see a message upon activating your reset password link error: reset token failed.

You may be seeing this message for a couple different reasons:

• The reset password token is only valid for 6 hours, so if you or your student click the email more than 6 hours after receiving it, the token will be expired.
• If the reset password button is hit more than once, only the most recent email token will be valid. (meaning any prior email tokens will be invalid). If you've reset your password several times, you may see this error because you have not clicked on the most recent password reset link.
• Whether you are resetting your own password, or supporting your students as they reset theirs, be sure to hit the reset button only once and wait for 5 - 10 minutes to receive the email (do not click it several times if the email does not come through immediately)
