Resolving Access Challenges for Your JHED Account
⚠️ Forgot JHED Password
Cause: User cannot recall their password.
Solution: If you cannot remember your password, go to my.jh.edu and click the Forgot Password? link. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password. Your password must meet specific criteria: at least 8 characters but not more than 40, include at least one character from three out of four categories (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters), cannot contain your JHED ID or parts of your name, and must be different from your four most recent passwords.
⚠️ Forgot JHED ID
Cause: User does not know their JHED ID.
Solution: If you do not know your JHED ID, there's a specific link on the login page to help locate it. For students, if you haven't received it via email, contact Student Enrollment and Account Management (SEAM) at 410-516-8080 or via their contact form. Faculty and staff should contact their manager, supervisor, or departmental HR representative.
⚠️ Multiple JHED IDs Issued
Cause: A user has been assigned more than one JHED ID, leading to potential access issues.
Solution: Only one JHED ID is assigned per person. If you believe you have multiple JHED IDs, do not proceed with setup for the newer ID. Instead, contact the IT Help Desk at (410) 516-HELP (4357) or (410) 955-HELP (4357) for assistance in reconciling the issue.
⚠️ Account Locked or Technical Issues
Cause: Repeated incorrect login attempts, system errors, or other technical difficulties.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. For immediate assistance with a locked account or any other technical problems, contact the Johns Hopkins IT Help Desk directly. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone at (410) 516-HELP (4357) or (410) 955-HELP (4357). You can also submit an online ticket via the myJH portal if you can log in, or visit them in person at JHU Information Technology Services (IT & ID Services).
Securing Your Johns Hopkins Account Information
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your JHED account, following the specified criteria (e.g., mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters, minimum length of 8).
- 🔒 Never share your JHED ID or password with anyone, including colleagues or IT support personnel.
- 🔒 Regularly update your myProfile to ensure your contact information and security questions are current.
- 🔒 Be vigilant against phishing attempts; Johns Hopkins IT will never ask for your password via email.
- 🔒 Ensure you review your myProfile every six months, as there's a required workflow to confirm your information, which helps maintain account security.
