The password change tag

Sometime in April

Please change once

Dear members of the university,

Security in IT is very important and is becoming increasingly important.

Why the password change day:

You all use a university account that authorises you to use the university's IT infrastructure.

E-learning, e-mail, SB-Online, LSF, INCA, numerous databases, WLAN and much, much more for learning, teaching, research and administration. It is now the case that unauthorised persons are gaining access to login data for university accounts through phishing and other malicious activities, and this data is sometimes used for more and sometimes even more unauthorised activities.

That's bad, you don't want that, we don't want that!

That's why we call for PASSWORD CHANGE DAY every year sometime in April: All users of a university account should have changed their password by this date.

Unfortunately, this has not happened for the vast majority of users. Only about half of all university members have managed to do so.

 


Crap crap crap crap Oh NO, ... I missed it!

As an employee or student on site:

Log on to a PC in the campus network, PC pool or workstation PC.... you will be asked to enter a new password directly. You can then use the online/IT services with this new password.

 

As a student, however, NOT on site:

Usethe ticket system, write university account and matriculation number, warm apologetic words are of course not necessary ;-) we will find a solution. This usually happens very quickly.

 

As an employee, however, NOT on site:

Contact the system administrator you trust, this can of course also be done via the ticket system
