Using a password manager, such as LastPass, makes it easy to generate secure, unique passwords for every site you use.

Although alumni will lose direct access to the Stevens Office 365 email, any incoming messages to the Stevens inbox can automatically be forwarded to alumni personal inboxes.

Step 2: On the top right of the Okta Dashboard, click on the drop-down arrow and select Settings. Step 3: Review the "Secondary email" field to ensure it contains a correct, up-to-date personal email. This email will receive forwarded emails from the Stevens inbox.
