CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME RESET MY LOGIN FOR THIS STUPID CANVAS ACCOUNT IM ABOUT TO GET MAD BRO THEY NEED TO FIX THEY STUFF BECAUSE WHY CANT I RESET MY PASSWORD AND NOT SENDING ME AN EMAIL TO DO SO
Hello @JanaeCole ,
Welcome, and thank you for posting on the Instructure Community.
I'm sorry that you're having a hard time resetting your password, we're here to help! If you wouldn't mind providing us with a little more information, this would allow us to provide you with our best insight. Are you using the free for teacher canvas version, or does your school pay for Canvas?
If your school uses Canvas and pays for their own Canvas Instance, you will need to reach out to your school's I.T. department, or Canvas Administrator for assistance with resetting your password. However, if you're using Free for Teacher, please click the reset password button, enter your email, then double click Reset Password. For some reason, double clicking is needed for resetting your password if you're using the traditional method of using Canvas to login.
Please let us know if this helps. If not, I will forward this to an admin of the free for teacher Canvas instance directly. However, if your school pays for their own canvas instance (the url would look like yourschool.instructure.com), then they will need to reset your password for you, and you'll have to reach out to the I.T. department at your school.
Best,Noah

We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
