Web Account Password Expiration/Updates
Your Campus Web Account password is set to automatically expire after 180 days. But, if you ever feel your password may have been compromised or someone in whom you've entrusted your password leaves, we recommend changing the password immediately. If your password expires, you may log in via SSH and change it yourself for up to 90 days. See below for more details on using SSH below.

How To Change Your Campus Web Account Password
- Connect to the campus web server via SSH. You can use Web SSH to connect, or see Logging Into Your Account for instructions to connect to you campus web server using various methods.
- Once you are connect via SSH, you can run the passwd command. Type "passwd" (no quotes) at the command line and press enter.
- If your password has already expired, you'll automatically be prompted for a new password. Enter a new password and confirm it.
- If your password has not expired, you may be asked to enter your current password again. Then you will be prompted to enter a new password and confirm it.
- Note: Passwords will not be "echoed", meaning that you'll see none of the characters you enter when you type your new password. Be sure you type accurately, and do not press any backspaces. If you do, try running the command again
- If you successfully entered a password that meets the rule requirements, a success message appears about all password tokens being updated. Type "logout" and press Enter to disconnect.
