Single Sign On For Labsim.

I understand the reason for moving to the Single Sign On for Labsim, but doing that has caused a lot of issues for my students. Prior to this month, I was able to send my students temporary passwords if they forgot their passwords. With the new system now in place I no longer have the ability to do that. Because most of my students only have school email accounts(K12), the password reset procedure is creating a lot of unhappy students and parents. I already reached out to our corporate IT to see if they could whitelist CompTIA, but it seems to be a long and daunting process. I have also tried getting my students to move over to a personal email, but that still has its oen issues. Are there any suggestions as how to proceed with the issue? Are there any other instructors having the same issue?

Ahh, the age old problem with authentication in education - students/parents who lose their passwords.

Are you talking about the new CompTIA platform? And why is the reset function creating a lot of unhappy students/parents?

I'm afraid in this scenario, there's not much of an easy way around it. Best I can offer is to impress upon the students and their parents that if they forget their password, they're going to experience delays. While it's commendable, I think, that you're trying to be as flexible as you can, putting the onus back on the student to be responsible enough, to me, is not unreasonable.

What does the school administration say to all this?
