Password-change deadline for eIDs is Feb. 11

Posted on by Betsy Edwards

K-Staters have January through Feb. 11 to change the passwords on their K-State eIDs for the spring semester. This mandatory password change occurs each fall and spring, and applies to both individual eIDs and group eIDs. Long-term use of the same password is a known risk factor, which is why any K-State password cannot be re-used within a two-year period.
