Changing Your OpenAthens Password

3. Enter the email address associated with your OpenAthens account and click "Next." 

4. A box will pop up stating that "If this account exists, an email with further instructions will have been sent to the address registered to the account." Be sure to check your junk folder or "other" space in Microsoft Outlook.
