Once students are in our system, they can register for an account using some personal information to verify their identity. The site allows them to create the account, set their password and hint question, and gets whatever other information we need to gather at that point.

We've been under a lot of pressure to change this so that the students will be able to access campus services over the summer which require a username and password. I'm wondering how other institutions are handling this situation in a secure way.
