Your login to that is:

This is your AD credentials.

Once in the portal there are many links to various places.
MOST important two are Grade book and Canvas.
Both use your AD Credentials.

​You CAN set the portal up to save all your passwords under the Password Mgr (manager) tile.
Also set up your Password Challenge.  See below

WDID? (What do I do?)

I have a good secure BASE password.  Lets say it is H@rRy_P0tt3r#07 Looks secure right Harry Potter #7  if you look close enough.  Easy to remember.
When I need to to change it all I change is the number at the end!

If you want to make it different for each website or location as they say all password should different I just put a clue or initials at the end of the password.
For instances;
  • Google password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07go
  • Venmo - password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07ve
  • Yahoo - password could be -  H@rRy_P0tt3r#07ya

...And sometimes I still forget and have to reset it also.  
I also personally have enough Accounts and passwords that I keep a spreadsheet of them all!.  And yes, that Excel Spreadsheet is passworded!

Update. I had to start using a manager and now use LastPass.. to keep track of them all.  Highly recommended!

Interesting password links...
