Heartbleed: reset your ɬÀï·¬ Password

Published: 15 May 2014

An important message from IT Services

In April, we emailed you about the Heartbleed vulnerability and its potential impact on ɬÀï·¬. All of ɬÀ﷬’s central IT systems have been evaluated, and updates were applied where needed. As a final precaution, we strongly encourage you to change your ɬÀï·¬ Password without delay.Ìý

If you are a ɬÀï·¬ staff member, you are required to change your password.

When changing your ɬÀï·¬ 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-ɬÀï·¬ 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 ɬÀï·¬ Password:

  • Faculty, staff, & students: log into Minerva, and go to the Personal Menu > Password for ɬÀï·¬ Username.Ìý
  • Affiliates: go to Reggie and click on Change Account Information, then select ɬÀï·¬ Password.Ìý

Note: If you have more than one ɬÀï·¬ 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 ɬÀï·¬ Password Reset Checklist to help you identify various IT services where you might have saved your ɬÀï·¬ Password.Ìý

While ɬÀï·¬ 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".
