First Time Logging In

Instructions

1. Open a web browser and go to login.pugetsound.edu.
   
2. Enter your Puget Sound username (e.g. glogger) and password then click Sign in. 
   • If you did not receive a temporary password to set up your account, please call the Service Desk at 253-879-8585. 
3. Create a new password that meets the requirements based on the university's password policy then click Change Password. 
   
4. If prompted, click Set up to enroll in your preferred security method for multi-factor authentication (MFA). For detailed instructions on setting up these security methods, please refer to the articles below.
   • Okta Verify App (recommended): push notification or one-time code
   • Google Authenticator: one-time code generated by any authenticator app
   • Security Key: FIDO2 hardware token (e.g. YubiKey)
   • Biometric Authenticator: biometric (e.g. Touch ID)
   • 
5. Click Set up for Security Question.
   
6. Select whether to Choose a security question from the drop-down list or Create my own security question to write your own. Type in your answer in the Answer field then click Verify. Only you should know the answer since it will be used to verify your identity during self-service account recovery if you forget your password or need to unlock your account. 
   
7. You may be presented with the option to set up other security methods for MFA. Technology Services strongly recommends having more than one security method configured to prevent getting locked out of your account. If you would like to skip this step or do it later from your account settings, click Continue. 
8. Type in your personal email address (not your Puget Sound email address) in the Secondary email field then click Finish. Technology Services strongly recommends adding this information so you can use it for self-service account recovery. If you would like to skip this step, click Skip Profile. 
   
   • If you entered a secondary email address, you will receive an email to your personal mailbox. Please click the Confirm Email link in the message to verify the address. You must confirm the email before you can use it to reset a forgotten password or unlock your account.
     
9. You are ready to use your university account!
