ENROLL NOW in MYPASS, the new service that not only makes it easy to change your password and other info for your Archdiocese account if you’re ever locked out, but even lets you turn off the requirement to regularly change your password! Offered by the Office of Information Technology, MYPASS is a self-service web page that uses the simplicity of “Multifactor Authentication” (or MFA for short) in order to access systems and applications on the corporate network.
