Thank you all! 54,725 people have changed their NID password since Aug. 20th 2015. Though there were occasional issues that arose on a minimal number of accounts, the overall effort was highly successful. A huge thank you to the WSU community of account holders for your support and patience throughout the process.
An important component of enhancing security at WSU includes password rotation on a regular basis. As a reminder and as described in existing Executive Policy 18 , passwords will be required to be reset every 180 days going forward, starting at the date of your most recent password change. Strong passwords are fundamental to information system security and are often the first line of defense against unauthorized access to network resources.
