SAFE GUARDING YOUR PASSWORD

Good Afternoon All, I just wanted to touch base with you all on the spam emails that were sent out to users asking for their email addressees and passwords. In the very near future, ITS will be rolling out the ability for users to reset their passwords via the portal while they are off campus. This will include each user setting up security questions to verify their identity. This will both notify users via email when their passwords are going to expire and give you the convenience of resetting your own password, should it expire before you can change it. The spam email that was received, is an opportunity to remind you that you should never share your passwords with ANYONE for ANY REASON. Not via email and not in person. All UVI users systems allow for delegates to act as you under their own login. There is no reason your password should be given to anyone else. Don't leave it with your assistant, tell a technician, or put it on a post it note by your desk. We receive these email spam from time to time requesting everything from passwords to bank accounts to ATM PINs. You need to make sure that you are being vigilant in the protection of your password. Thank you for not responding to the emails, and thank you for your continued awareness in protecting access to UVI systems. Tina
