RESETPASSWORD

Update and set a new password for your user account

Description

Excel Lab authenticates with Windham's licensing server for convenience and security. To set a new password, you will require your current password and a reset code. The reset code will be emailed to you during this process (MFA).

You can invoke Excel Lab's license authentication process anywhere in a workbook. You can even do this in a new blank workbook.

You do not need to save the workbook once authentication is successful.
