Change your IU passphrase

On this page:

Before you begin

Use these directions only if you remember your Indiana University passphrase and want to change it. If you forgot your passphrase, see Reset your IU passphrase. If you need to change your IU Guest account password, see About IU Guest accounts.
If you access IU services from several different networked devices, you may need to take a few precautions before changing your passphrase.
Review the Rules for creating passphrases at Indiana University.

Go to Passphrase Reset.
Enter the username for the account for which you wish to make the passphrase change, and select I know my passphrase.
If prompted, log in with your IU username and passphrase.
On the "Passphrase Reset" page, consider the information under "About Changing Your Passphrase", and review the suggested passphrase format.
In the "Current Passphrase" field, enter the current passphrase for the personal or group IU username entered in the "Username" field.
In the two remaining fields, enter and confirm a new passphrase. Use the check indicators to meet the passphrase requirement.
Select Change Passphrase (you may need to scroll down).

Notes:

When you change your IU passphrase, it may take up to 20 minutes for all systems to recognize the new passphrase. UITS recommends waiting 20 minutes before contacting the Support Center if you have trouble logging into IU systems, such as One.IU.
You will receive email confirmation when you change your passphrase. For group accounts, the account and account owner will receive the message.
