Password Rules and Requirements
All passwords must meet certain complexity and history requirements. Password change attempts fail if your new password doesn't meet the criteria.
- Must be 12 or more characters
- Must contain three of the four character types
- Uppercase (ABCDE)
- Lowercase (abcde)
- Digits (12345)
- Symbols (~!@#$)
- Can't contain your name or username
- Can't be one of your previous five passwords
- Expires after one year and must be changed again
Change Your Password
Head over to the password change page, hosted with Outlook Web App, and enter your YoteNet ID (email address), current password, and new password. When the page says your password was changed then you're done. Canvas, Self Service, and other websites will use the new password immediately.
Office 365, including Outlook and Teams, will update within three to five minutes. If you're signed in to any of those apps they will start to prompt for your new password and won't function until you enter it.
