When you change your ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase, multiple devices and programs may need to be adjusted, depending on the type of account you have, and the privileges you have.

For current employees, emeritus faculty and students your ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase controls access to:

  • GusMail
  • Google Calendar, Docs, and Contacts
  • Moodle
  • ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Web Resources
  • ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅Secure and Network Registrations
  • Machine Logins (Lab and Workstations)
  • Home Directory Access
  • Office365
  • CrashPlan Code42 Backup
  • ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Profile Information and Settings

For Alumni your ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase controls access to:

  • Alumni Web Resources
  • ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Profile Information and Settings
  • Email, Google Calendar and Docs (for GusMail users)

Different devices and applications may prompt you for an updated passphrase. The links below will help if you don't have an option to supply a new passphrase automatically.

Smartphones and Tablets

Smartphones and tablets will need settings adjusted if you check your ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ email, calendars or any other resources listed above with them. For smartphones, tablets and iOS devices, if you are not prompted to update your passphrase when you check e-mail, send e-mail or check your calendar, we recommend you remove the account and add it back.


Machine Logins

Faculty and staff will need to log into their office computers with their new passphrase while connected to the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ network. If you change your passphrase when you are off campus, the next time you return to campus you will need to use your new passphrase for logging in.

  • Macintosh Computers - Occasionally users will have issues with keychains after changing their ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase. For help with keychains on Macintosh, please see: Fixing Keychain Issues.
  • Windows Computers - use your new passphrase to log into your computer.

Students should user their new password for logging into lab machines or other campus owned computers.

Moodle, Web Resources and Google Calendar

Please use your new password for logging into Moodle, Google Apps or other ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ web resources when you see the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ Single Sign On page (the ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ skyline login screen).

CrashPlan and Office365

Crashplan and Office 365, including OneDrive will use your new ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase. For more information, please see:

Home Directory

After changing your passphrase, please restart your computer and log in with your new ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ User Account passphrase. If your home directory does not automatically mount, please see:
