ELLA login FAQs

Q: What should I do if I’ve forgotten my ELLA password?

A: You can change your ELLA password by using the 'Forgot username or password?' link below the Educator Zone login section of the ELLA website. To reset your ELLA password, make sure you have access to the email inbox of your login email address.

Click the ‘Forgot username or password?’ link on the login page and enter the email address for your ELLA service. An automated email will be sent to that email address. Click on the link in the email to create a new password.

• Your new password should have a minimum of 13 characters.
• You may not change your password more than once every 24 hours.
• You may not re-use a password using only sequential number changes.

NOTE: If you enter an incorrect password three times your account will be locked. Use the reset process outlined above to unlock your account.

Q: Can the ELLA apps be used at home?

To encourage ongoing engagement with language learning at home, there are a selection of resources which can be found on the Support for families page of the ELLA website.
