Regaining Entry to Your Digital Student Hub
⚠️ Forgot Password
Cause: The user cannot recall their current University of New Haven password.
Solution: If you've forgotten your password, navigate to the myCharger login page and look for a 'Forgot Password' or 'Reset Password' link. Follow the on-screen instructions, which typically involve verifying your identity through a recovery email or phone number to set a new password.
⚠️ Account Lockout
Cause: Multiple consecutive incorrect login attempts have temporarily locked the account for security reasons.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. Usually, the account will automatically unlock after a short period. If you need immediate access, or if the lockout persists, contact the University's IT Support for assistance with unlocking your account.
⚠️ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Issues
Cause: Problems with the Microsoft Authenticator app (e.g., app not syncing, lost device, incorrect codes).
Solution: First, ensure your device's date and time settings are set to automatic, as incorrect time can cause sync issues. If you're still experiencing problems with Microsoft Authenticator, especially if you've lost your device or need to re-register it, you will need to contact the University's IT Support for an MFA reset.

- 🔒 Always use strong, unique passwords for your myCharger account that combine letters, numbers, and symbols.
- 🔒 Enable and actively use multi-factor authentication (MFA) via the Microsoft Authenticator app to add an extra layer of security to your login.
- 🔒 Never share your myCharger username or password with anyone, including friends, family, or university staff.
- 🔒 Always log out of your myCharger account when you are finished, especially when using public or shared computers.
