Change your University Password:
Change your password for any of the University’s core systems by visiting PUaccess
Good password practices:
- Use different ID and password combinations for different websites
- Avoid sharing passwords
- Change your password regularly
- Avoid writing passwords down, but if you must, mask it, keep the piece of paper in a safe place and do not include related data, such as your username or the site name.
- Commercially available password management software can keep your passwords in an encrypted, password-protected file. Some products can save the file in the “cloud” allowing users to share passwords among multiple computing and mobile devices. Check with a member of your department’s technology support team to ensure the quality of the product.
