Heartbleed: reset your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password
An important message from IT Services
In April, we emailed you about the Heartbleed vulnerability and its potential impact on ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. All of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ’s central IT systems have been evaluated, and updates were applied where needed. As a final precaution, we strongly encourage you to change your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password without delay.Ìý
If you are a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ staff member, you are required to change your password.
When ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password, remember to make it complex (try adding symbols and numbers), and unique (donÂ’t use the same password for online banking, cloud storage, social media, etc.). If you currently use the same password for other non-ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ accounts, you may wish to change those as well. That way, even if one online account is compromised in the future, all of your other accounts will be secure.
To reset your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password:
- Faculty, staff, & students: log into Minerva, and go to the Personal Menu > Password for ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Username.Ìý
- Affiliates: go to Reggie and click on Change Account Information, then select ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password.Ìý
Note: If you have more than one ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Username that is used solely by you (for example, you have a student and a staff account), your new password will apply to both accounts.
Once youÂ’ve followed the onscreen instructions to change your password, use the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password Reset Checklist to help you identify various IT services where you might have saved your ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Password.Ìý
While ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ will be sending faculty, staff, students, and resource account sponsors an email message with similar content to this announcement, please note that we will never send you a message to "click here to reset your password".
