First-Time Setup For Quicklaunch


Lane's Quicklaunch gives Lane Community College students and employees a single sign-on solution, which enables Lane’s users to sign on with one user identification and password, allowing personalized access to multiple applications without re-logging in. 

Check out this video or follow this article that covers the first-time setup of this service and some frequently asked questions you might have!


Quicklaunch Setup

Login for the first time

As a first-time user, you will need to enter your L-number and password to begin the setup. If this is your first time at Lane you should have been given a temporary password to which you will be prompted to reset once you have successfully logged in for the first time. 

Note: Your first temporary password will only be usable for 24 hours. If the temporary password has expired follow the steps for forgot password or contact Enrollment services directly.

Follow the steps below to complete the first time setup for Lane’s Quicklaunch tool:

  1. Access myLane Quicklaunch by clicking myLane on towards the bottom of Lane’s front page or go directly to the login page here.
    The myLane button on a lower page banner on lanecc's website.
  2. Enter your L number into the username field and password into the password field given.
    Username and password entry box on the quicklaunch page.
  3. You should be prompted to re-enter the same password to confirm. 
  4. You will now be prompted and required to set up 4 security questions. 
    1. These questions are case sensitive and require the same spacing as how you enter them now
    2. These questions will be used for identity verification prior to logging in on new devices, resetting your password via the second account recovery option, etc.

    1. Email Recovery: Enter a personal email to be able to recover your password via an email of your choice.
    2. Phone Recovery: Enter an active phone number you have regular access to be able to recover your password by text.
    3. Authenticator: Use the Google Authenticator app (requires free app download to a personal device) to be able to recover your password and use two-step authentication for more security.

  7. Complete the setup prompts for the second recovery option you chose to continue and click “Submit” to complete each recovery option to complete it.

  8. Click “Go to My Apps” now showing in dark blue at the bottom right of the screen.
