ParklandOne Password Update - How Does This Impact Wi-Fi?

"ParklandOne" refers to your digital credentials for the College. It encompasses your Parkland username, password, and multifactor authentication (MFA). ParklandOne account management is powered by a system called Okta. This article explains the effects of a password update on Wi-Fi for existing students and employees (not new users who are setting up their ParklandOne account for the first time). It applies to those who have forgotten their password and those who want to change their password (but remember their current one).

It is difficult to capture all the behaviors across a myriad of different devices.  As such, this is intended to be a general guide for what to expect with Parkland Wi-Fi on your mobile device.

The "PCNet" Wi-Fi network (for employees) is what is pictured below, however, the same instructions apply to the "Parkland" Wi-Fi network (for students).
