Overview
This article explains how to reset or change your NetID password if you know your current or expired password and already have a profile set up.
If creating a new password, the following are the guidelines:
- Don’t use a phrase you can find as a single entry in a dictionary.
- Don’t use a password that you have previously used.
- Your password must be 15 characters or longer.
- Complexity (additional numbers, special characters, etc.) is no longer required.
- Always use a different password for each of your accounts (work, personal banking, etc.) to ensure that if one account is compromised, your other accounts are still protected and consider acquiring/implementing a password manager to make this easy to manage.
