In order to minimise loss of access to University systems caused by expired passwords and accounts, Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) has been working on improvements to user account and password related processes. These include:
- a new version of the password change application
- email notifications for passwords nearing expiry
- email notifications for accounts nearing expiry
IS&T has started to send email notifications to staff whose passwords are due to expire and is about to release the first phase of the new password change application, which will be available for staff-user accounts to begin with.
Further information, including examples of the emails, can be found at: https://blogs.shu.ac.uk/infrastructure/2013/12/06/password-account-expiry-notifications/
