UMID and UMB Account FAQs

Accounts for employees paid through the University and registered students are created automatically. 

If you are not an employee paid through the University or a registered student, you will need to have a current sponsor add you to the community system. Please consult the list of current Sponsors and Approvers.

Go to the UMB Account Management site. 

Click on the “New User, Set Up Account” link and follow the instructions to create a UMID, select a verification question, select a security image, create a security phrase, and create your new password.

Go to the UMB Account Management site. 

Click on the “Forgot your Password” link and follow the instructions to reset your password. 

If it has been more than 180 days since your last login or the system does not recognize the answer to your verification question, please email or call the IT Help Desk (410-706-4357) for further assistance.

Go to the UMB Account Management site and log in with your UMID and password. 

Click on the “Password” link on the left-hand side of the screen and enter a new password.

For most users, the password DOES NOT expire.

When the system accepts a new password, you should receive a confirmation screen with the password’s expiration date. The expiration date should be 180 days from when you created the new password. 

If you did receive a confirmation screen, give the system a few minutes to synchronize your password. 

If it has been more than 10 minutes since you created a new password and you still cannot log in, please email or call the IT Help Desk (410-706-4357). 

The UMB PIN is not your password. The UMB PIN is used in place of the last four digits of a Social Security number to verify a user’s identity if a user does not have a Social Security number associated with their account or does not wish to provide that information.

You can change your UMB PIN from the UMB Account Management Site.

The UMID is your username on your UMB Account.

Here are instructions on how to find or change your UMID. 

1. Go to the UMB Account Management Site.
2. Click on the “I cannot log into UMB Account” link.
3. Enter your last name, date of birth, and either the last four digits of your Social Security number or UMB PIN. Click on the Submit button.  
4. Answer your verification question. Click on the Submit button.  
5. You will have to create a new password.
6. After creating your password, you will see all the systems your new password is being written to.
7. Click “Continue” to be taken to the UMB Account Management Site.
8. Your UMID is displayed under the “UMB Account Details” portion of the screen.
    
   If you need to change your UMID, click on the “UMID” link on the left side of the screen.
   

If a user has multiple roles on campus, their UMB account will stay active as long as there are active roles (faculty, staff, student, affiliate) associated with their account.

If you would like to check on the status of your UMID and password, go to the UMB Account Management site. If you can log in to this website, your UMID and password are active and valid. 

If you cannot log in, click on the link “I cannot log into UMB Account” to set up your UMID and password.  

To unlock your UMB account, you have the following options:
