Tips and Warnings
Pro Tip: Have the student in front of you when approving a live password reset request so you can verify their identity.Warning: You cannot reset passwords for all students at once. Password protection cannot be removed because it helps prevent other students from accessing an account and answering questions as someone else.Alternative: For live events where students do not need individual accounts, run a GameShow with students joining as guests. Guest students do not earn progression, but you will still receive a report of their answers.
FAQs / Troubleshooting
Can I reset passwords for all students at once?
No. Passwords must be reset individually; there is no feature to reset all student passwords at once.
Can I remove password access for students?
No. Passwords protect student accounts from unauthorized access and prevent students from answering questions for another student.
What if I need to run an activity without student passwords?
Run a GameShow and have students join as guests. This is a live event, and guest students will not earn progression, but you will receive a report showing how they answered the questions.
Can students reset their own passwords?
Students can select Forgot Password while logging in to send a live request to a signed-in teacher. The teacher must approve the request before the student can enter a new password.
What is another password-free login option?
You can register your class by importing it from Google Classroom. Students can then select Log in with Google, which links their Google account to their Knowledgehook account without requiring a Knowledgehook password.
