Login Information:
The username and password that you will use to login to your computer is the same as your Active

enter MCPSMD as the domain.

You will need to open the settings on your smartphone, and then edit the mail configuration to change
your domain name from SEC or ES to MCPSMD. The specific directions for editing the mail account
settings vary for each make and model of phone. Please contact the Help Desk (301-517-5800) if you
have any difficulty.

and all other Active Directory applications (Pinnacle Gradebook, OASIS, FMS, Data Warehouse,
ePayStub, myMCPS, PACS Web, OSS IEP, etc.).
1. Log in to myID from school or home at https://myID.mcpsmd.org.
