Source Password Change for Families
For increased security, the number of characters required for your Source password is changing from 8 to 12 which will require you to change your password if it is less than 12 characters. This change is only for parents and guardians; students will not need to change their password.
Please follow these steps to create a new password:
- Log in to your Source account.
- Click Preferences in the left-hand menu.
- Enter your Current Password.
- Enter a New Password and then enter it again to Confirm. Your password must be 12 or more characters, with no apostrophes.
- Click Save.
