Password & YCP Email Address

Your YCP network account email address and password provide access to my.ycp.edu and most YCP applications, internet, and computers.

Tip: You may also add multi-factor authentication, to make your account more secure.

• Note: This is required of YCP employees as of January, 31, 2022.

Change your password

• Caution: We will never ask for your password. If this happens, please contact us. Never reply.
• Here is a link to review our password policy: Password Policy

The first time you log into myYCP, you will be prompted to set up self service recovery options for your account.  This will ask you to set up the Microsoft Authenticator app by default, but you can also set up a phone number or email address by clicking the "I want to set up a different method" option at the bottom left.  Every six months after this, you will be asked to verify that this information is still up to date.

You can reset your password by:

• Visiting myYCP and selecting the "Can't access your account?" link
• Select "Work or school account"
• Enter your email address and the Captcha information
• Select your verification method and enter the code or approve the login

After this, you'll be able to reset the password on your account.  If you do not have access to your verification methods, please contact us for further assistance

Your email address is what you use, along with your password, to sign into my.ycp.edu and most applications. It usually consists of your first initial, last name, sometimes a number, then @ycp.edu. It does not change unless you submit a request along with an official name change.

Tip: In applications where your email address does not seem to work, try using your username (explained below) instead.

After signing into your network account, learn how how to access your emails.

Fix the "problem"
