Change password – MDU account

Remember that you need to change your password at least once a year, preferably more often. You will receive an email reminder well before it is time to change your password.

Important information before changing your password

• If you work on campus, your computer should be plugged into a docking station. However, if you are using Wi-Fi on campus, you must be connected to a VPN before changing your password.
• If you work remotely, you must be connected to a VPN before changing your password.
  

Important information when you have changed your password

• Do you have a PC and changed the password via Wi-Fi or remotely?
  • Lock the computer (CTRL+Alt+Delete – select lock computer). Then unlock with the new password and the computer password will be updated.
• If you have a Mac, your computer's password will be updated automatically. See more information on the employee intranet.
• The final step is to update all your other devices where you use your MDU account with the new password. For example, Eduroam on the telephone, computer, Ipad/tablet.

A device with an incorrect password will lock your account for 30 minutes.
