New Password Standard
The Stevens password expiration was extended to 365 days for all Stevens faculty, staff, and students. In addition to extending the password expiration period, the minimum required password length was adjusted to 10 characters.
Rationale
These settings balance ease-of-use and good security practices.
- Increasing the amount of time before you must change your password makes it easier to remember your password and choose a unique password each time.
- Using a password manager, such as LastPass, makes it easy to generate secure, unique passwords for every site you use.
Impact on Stevens Community
- Your Stevens password will expire 365 days after the last time you changed your password. For example, if you last changed your password in August 2020, it will expire in August 2021 rather than February 2021.
Remember, if you ever feel that your password may have been compromised, it is important to change it as soon as possible. All Stevens faculty, staff, and students can change their passwords at any time using the Self-Service Password Reset Portal.
