Stronger SUNet passwords to enhance account security at Stanford
See the Stanford Report article of April 24 to read about the University's effort to strengthen password security. As the article describes, the campus community will be receiving emails in the coming days reminding them to reset their passwords.
Each SUNet account owner will receive five days of notice before a password change is required. Notification will be provided via email (containing no web links) and on the WebLogin page, which is displayed whenever a user logs into a SUNet password-protected web application on the Stanford network, such as Axess, Box or Zimbra.
After the five days have elapsed, the user will be required to change the password the next time WebLogin is accessed, and the previous password will stop working. SUNet passwords configured in applications such as email on mobile devices will need to be updated accordingly.
SUNet account owners can change their passwords at any time by visiting the Accounts page of the Stanford website, clicking "Manage," then selecting "Change Password."
