Important Notes
- New Password Impact: Setting a new password will only affect students who have not yet logged in and will apply to any new users that will be created.
- Existing Students: For students who have already logged in, their password will remain unchanged. If you need to update their password, you will need to manually reset the password for the individual student. Learn more in the Resetting Student Passwords help article.
Benefits of Setting a Password

- Flexible Classroom Setups: Ideal for rotation stations, drop-ins, or other flexible classroom setups where students need quick and easy access.
- Consistency: Ensures all students use a uniform login method, making it easier to manage and support their accounts.
