LCC Microsoft Account Access & Password Management
This article outlines how your Lane Community College Microsoft account is managed and how to troubleshoot common login issues.
1. Your LCC Microsoft Account
All active employees and students at Lane Community College are provided with a Microsoft account. This account grants you access to various college applications and services.
- Password Synchronization: Your Microsoft account password is always synchronized with your MyLane password. Changing your Microsoft password outside of MyLane will cause synchronization issues.
- Synchronization Mechanism: This synchronization occurs from Lane Community College's on-premise Active Directory directly to the Microsoft Cloud.
