BREO Microsoft Edge Issue - Error 404

We've been told by the BREO team that students and staff are unable to access content on BREO while using Microsoft Edge browser as the "404 - File or directory not found" error appears.






We are expecting this to be fixed in the next software update but in the meantime can only suggest that you use an alternative browser (e.g. Chrome or Firefox) to access BREO.

Email password problems




We are seeing a lot of students get confused when trying to access their student email.







if you click the Reset it now link you get this

In fact you can reset your email password, but not through Microsoft. You must go to https://password.beds.ac.uk, which will change your passwords for email, BREO, MyBedsLife and library services in one go.
