Deadline to change eID passwords is Wednesday, Sept. 10
Many K-Staters were e-mailed Monday morning that they still need to change their eID password to meet the deadline Wednesday, Sept. 10, for the fall semester. Passwords not changed by the end of that day will be reset by the system, causing owners to lose access to e-mail and other IT resources until those passwords are updated.
- Change your password: Sign in on the eid.k-state.edu website, click “Change your eID password”, and follow the steps.
- Forgot your password? Call or stop by the IT Help Desk (785-532-7722, 214 Hale Library) and verify your identity. Staff can set a temporary password for you so you can sign in.
- Tips for selecting a password, plus Q/As: Read the Password FAQs.
All K-Staters must change their passwords. This includes individual eIDs, group eIDs, and special-access eIDs. The mandatory password change each fall and spring semester prevents long-term use of the same password, which is a known risk factor. For the same reason, K-State passwords cannot be reused in a two-year period.
