Help CenterWhen Honorlock is enabled for an assessment, the system will automatically generate a secure exam password (or access code). If you have previously created a password or access code for the exam, Honorlock will override it with a newly generated secure code.
This password is essential to maintaining the integrity of the assessment. It ensures that test takers can only access the exam while actively being proctored through Honorlock.
Students will not need to enter the Honorlock-generated password themselves. After completing the Honorlock authentication process (including ID verification and environment checks), the system will automatically apply the password in the background. The password remains hidden from students at all times and will not be visible to them.
Do not remove, modify, or replace the Honorlock-generated password or access code.
-
If the password is deleted or removed, students may be able to access the exam without being proctored.
-
If the password is altered, students will be prevented from accessing the exam entirely.
Maintaining the Honorlock-generated password without modification ensures a secure and seamless testing experience for both instructors and students.
The Honorlock-generated password will appear as a long, randomized alphanumeric string (for example: HL_NO_EDIT_26jnRqbD). The exact format may vary, but it will always be system-generated and should not resemble a manually created password.
