Schedule for Password Changes
All App State users must update their password every 365 days.
Why Password Management
Campus networks and information systems require both a username and account password for authentication purposes.
All App State employees and students are assigned a username and email account with the extension @appstate.edu.
Password Management requires all users to either:
- enter a valid university-issued username with an existing account password, 
- or unique identifiable information to establish or change an account password. 
A username is created with
- The last name along with the first and middle initials of a user. 
- A duplicate name requires that a numerical digit be added to the username. 
- Student usernames, in some instances, may be structured using the students' initials and five numerical digits.
