Reset Canvas Password with your personal email
This guide explains how to set or recover the Canvas password using your personal email.
Canvas allows access both with the institutional account @upra.org (via Microsoft login) and with the personal email (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, @legionaries.org, etc.) used during registration. If you have forgotten the password or prefer to log in with your personal email even if you normally use the @upra.org account, you can request a password reset without issues. To do this, simply go to the Canvas login page, enter your personal email address, and wait for the message Canvas will send with the link to create a new password. Once you click the link and set the password, you can access the platform again easily and securely.
