Manual passwords

If a manual password is selected, you can add a password of your choice – this must be at least 5 characters long and may include letters, numbers or special characters.  This can then be printed and passed to the student or communicated verbally.

As student emails are not required data for Discovery Education accounts, the email field does not need to be filled and requesting a reset password link is not possible for students.

It is also possible to reset student passwords from the My Classroom area.

Once the appropriate class has been selected, click on the Students tab:

Locate the student's name and click on the ellipsis icon at the end of the row. Choose Reset Password from the drop-down menu.

You will also have the same options if you click on the student's name and navigate to their individual student page. Then click on the ellipsis icon next to the student’s name:

School Administrators can also set or reset passwords through their Admin Dashboard, as explained in this article.
