Jan. 1 through Wednesday, Feb. 10, is the timeframe for all K-Staters to change the passwords on their K-State eIDs for the spring semester. This mandatory password change, which occurs each fall and spring, applies to both individual eIDs and group eIDs. After Feb. 10, unchanged passwords will lose access to K-State webmail, iSIS, K-State Online, K-State dial-in, free laser printing, university computing labs, and other IT services.
An e-mail reminder is typically sent to K-Staters with unchanged passwords a week or two prior to the password deadline. Note that K-State will never ask for your eID password via e-mail. Any message that asks for your password is a phishing scam and should be deleted immediately.
Long-term use of the same password is a known risk factor, which is why every K-State password must be changed — and cannot be re-used within a two-year period.
- To change your password, sign in on the eid.k-state.edu website. Click “Change your eID password or password-reset options” and follow the steps.
- Forgot your password? Call the IT Help Desk, 785-532-7722, and verify your identity. Staff can set a temporary password for you so you can sign in.
