Passwords are used to protect personal and possibly sensitive
information on your computer. They will only keep your information
secure if you, in turn, keep your passwords secure. Do not give
out your password to anyone.
Password Rules
- Passwords must
be 7 to 32 characters long
- Include at least one upper-case and 1 lower-case letter
- Include at least one number
- Include at least one punctuation character
- Must not contain your first name, last name, or ePass username
Tips
- Do not use passwords
that have an association with yourself (i.e. your name, pet, car,
family, club etc.)
- Do not use a
single English word
- Try using a
combination of words i.e. fish2frY1?
- Try using phonetically
spelled words i.e. fonetikal,48
- Try doubling
consonants, vowels, or use numbers i.e. IIthiinkIIcaan@23
- When changing
your password, do not use incremental passwords i.e. fish2frY?,
fish3frY?, etc.

CHANGING YOUR WINDOWS PASSWORD
Effective February 2008, the ePass and Windows passwords are synced. If you have recently received a "change your password" notification while logged on to a Windows machine, you'll need to change your ePass password. Once you've changed that password, your login to ePass and Windows will be the same. You will be reminded to change this password every 6 months. To change this password, go to https://epass.plu.edu/secured/passwd.html
