FORGOTTEN USER NAME
If you do not know your Hancock College username, it is usually in the following format: the first 8 letters of your first name, a period, the first 7 letters of your last name and sometimes, for common name, a number. If you have access to the personal email address on file (usually the one you entered on CCCApply) you can try to find your username. Visit https://hancockcollege.onbio-key.com/ and click on the "Forgot Username" link. Enter your last name and the personal email address you used. If there is a match on both in the system, your username will be revealed.
FORGOTTEN PASSWORD
If you have forgotten your account password you can attempt to reset it if you have access to the personal email address or SMS text message capable phone number we have on file. This email address and phone number usually were entered on CCCApply. To begin the reset procedure, go to https://lhancockcollege.onbio-key.com/and click on the "Forgot Password" link. Enter your user name. Then click the "Reset Forgotten Password" option and click "Continue". Next check your personal email address which is partially shown on the screen. Your email will contain an 8 digit number which you will fill into the "One Time Passcode" field and press continue. Finally, you will be asked to create a new password.
If you do not have access to the email address shown on the screen or did not receive the message click on the "Problems with the OTP?" link and see if you do have any other recovery methods available. For example if there is a text message capable phone listed click the "Send OTP as SMS" link.
LOCKED OUT OF ACCOUNT
To protect accounts from having their password guessed, accounts will be locked if too many failed attempts to login are reached. The lock will be removed after 5 minutes of waiting. Alternatively, a user can unlock their account by clicking the "Forgot Password" link on https://hancockcollege.onbio-key.com/ and then entering a username and selecting the "Unlock Account" option. A One-Time-Passcode will be sent to the user's default recovery method.
NO ACCESS TO RECOVERY METHODS
If you find that you do not have access to any of the recovery methods available. Contact Admissions and Records and inform them that you need to change your reset email address. Admissions and Records requires a photo ID to verify your identity. Once you are able to log in, be sure to add a recovery email address and phone number.
