Resolving Access Obstacles to Your Online Portal
⚠️ Experiencing Login Difficulties
Cause: Browser-related issues or an incorrect password attempt.

⚠️ Account Locked Out
Cause: Multiple failed login attempts for security purposes.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. Please wait at least 30 minutes after your last failed attempt. Then, use the Forgot Password link on the login page to reset your credentials. This is the fastest way to regain access.
⚠️ Forgot Your Password
Cause: Inability to recall your current password.
Solution: On the myCharger login page, look for the Forgot Password link. Follow the instructions to reset your password. You may be prompted to answer security questions you previously set up or use your registered recovery methods. For specific University System of New Hampshire (USNH) account management, you can visit myaccount.microsoft.com to manage passwords and recovery options.
⚠️ Microsoft Authenticator Issues
Cause: Problems with your two-factor authentication device or app.
Solution: Ensure your Microsoft Authenticator app is updated and properly synced. If you've changed devices or are having persistent issues, contact the Student Technical Support Office for assistance in re-registering your device or troubleshooting your multi-factor authentication setup.
