Password Reset deadline TODAY at 2:00PM

You must reset your password by today at 2:00 PM.  If you have not done so, please take a minute to change your password or you will be locked out of your account at 2:00PM.

What makes for a good password?

Passwords are integral to information security.  While we all know this, it is easy to take the easy way and not make a secure password.  ITS recommends checking out this guide to setting passwords. http://er.educause.edu/blogs/2015/10/8-dos-and-donts-of-good-passwords

Phrases of 14 characters or more are always preferable to shorter passwords.

What to do if you miss the deadline?  You have two choices.

One:

Use the new Self-Serve Password Reset application.

On the Login Screen, click Forgot Password?

Note: this requires you have either your WesID card or an alternate email address on file in your EPortfolio.  See http://itsinfo.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2013/10/23/self-serve-password-reset/ for more information on using this application.
