The VUSD Login Portal is a secure portal that allows staff and students to log into their accounts securely. It's protected with multifactor authentication to keep you and your accounts safe!
Getting started
To use the VUSD Login Portal, you must first "claim" your account using your vusd.org email address and a claim code. Staff that have been invited to use the portal will receive an email with the email address and claim code that should be used.
Claim Process
(Instructional video of this process here: https://www.vusd.org/fs/pages/18837)
- Go to https://login.vusd.org
- Click "Claim My Account"
- Enter your username and claim code.
- The username will be the first part of your email address (without the @vusd.org or @vusd.us).
- The claim code will be emailed to you in a welcome email or provided to you by the VUSD Technological Services Department.
- Enter a password. ***WARNING*** this will become your new "VUSD" password that will be used to log into this portal, your computer, and your Microsoft vusd.org email account. You are welcome to use your current VUSD password here if you want to keep the same password.
- Pause here for two minutes!
- It takes about a minute for the system to prepare your account in the background. If you log into the portal right away, you won’t be asked to choose your pictures. We recommend you wait 2 minutes before logging in. If you are still not asked to choose your pictures, see the Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting section below.
- Log into the portal with your username and the password you just set.
- Choose your pictures. Any pictures may be chosen. Remember what you choose!
- Your account will be ready! After choosing pictures, you'll end up at the "VUSD Login Portal". This portal will let you click on various shortcuts. Using these shortcuts is completely optional. You can continue accessing systems the same way you always have. You can now close the window. Once your account has been claimed, systems like Google and others we’ll be adding over time will automatically redirect you to the VUSD Login Portal when a login is required. If you’d like to use the portal for the shortcuts, you can always get there by going to login.vusd.org or from the “VUSD Login Portal” link under “Employees” on the VUSD website.
- All done! At this point you may choose a different authentication method other than pictograph. The other option currently available is a phone authenticator app called "RapidIdentity. If you'd like to change to the app instead of pictograph, follow the directions here: Using the RapidIdentity multifactor authentication app.
Screenshots of the claim process
Click "Claim My Account" to get started.
Enter your @vusd.org email address and claim code and hit "Next".
Enter a password. If you are an existing staff member and already have a VUSD password that you use to log into your computer and your vusd.org and vusd.us accounts, you can continue to use that password as long as it meets the new portal password requirements.
Done! Remember this username. Note that you do not have to enter your entire email address when logging into the new portal. You only need to use the username. This is to save you time!
After the claim process is done, you can click back to get back to the login screen.
Screenshots of the login and picture choosing process
Log in with your username and the password you just set.
Choose your pictures. You can hit the blue refresh button on the right to get new batches of pictures to choose from.
All done with pictures. The system will show them all to you one last time. Remember them!
Once your pictures have been selected, you'll be directed to the VUSD Login Portal. You may now close this window or use it to get to systems you need. You can always get back to the portal by going to login.vusd.org.
Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
- What if the system doesn’t ask me to choose pictures when I log in?
- If the system doesn’t ask you to select pictures the first time you log into the VUSD Login Portal, log out of the portal by clicking the profile icon at the top-right and choose “Logout”. Then log back in again. It takes about a minute for the system to set up your account after it has been claimed. If you log into the portal immediately after claiming, the picture system may not be ready for you yet. Waiting a few moments and logging in again will allow you to choose your pictures.
- I’m logging into Google with my vusd.us account and it’s not redirecting me to the VUSD Login
Portal. - After claiming your new portal account, it takes 5-10 minutes for the system to set up your Google account to use the VUSD Login Portal. Give the system a few minutes, log out of Google, then back in and you should be redirected to use your VUSD Login Portal account.
- I’m not crazy about the pictures I chose. Can I change them?
- Yes! You can change your pictures at any time. Log into the portal and click the profile button at the top-right. Then choose Profile -> Authentication Methods -> Reset Pictograph.
- Can I change my VUSD passwords through this system?
- Yes! Log into the portal and click the profile button at the top-right. Then choose Profile -> Authentication Methods -> Change Password. Note that this will change your VUSD Login Portal password, your computer login password, your Google (vusd.us) password and your Microsoft (vusd.org) account password at the same time.
- I’d rather use an app on my phone instead of these pictures. Can I do that?
