Student Accounts

BU Computer Account and Google Workspace

Binghamton University students, faculty, and staff receive a BU Computer Account and a University Google Workspace Account (e.g., username@binghamton.edu) along with access to services and systems based on their group affiliation, and in accordance with the ITS Binghamton University Account Policy.

New Account Claim/Setup:

  • Go to the password.binghamton.edu to claim your account for the first time or for password resets.
  • After creating your password, you will also have to set up your two factor authentication (2FA) to gain access to Binghamton University systems. You should do this right after you set your password. You will also need to set up Google 2-step Verification.  It is recommended you do this the first time you log into your email account. 
Google 2-Step Verification is separate from the 2FA Authentication that is required for the CAS (Central Authentication Service) Single-Sign-On for systems such as my.binghamton.edu, Brightspace, and other CAS login systems. The Google 2-Step Verification just applies to logins for Google Workspace applications including your email and is set up through your Google Account settings.
