• Use the Self-Service Password Management (SSPM) Web Portal to reset personal Active Directory (AD) passwords for:
    • Forgotten passwords
    • Unlocking an account
    • Retrieval of a username
  • Use a 15+ character passphrase that is easy to remember but hard for others to guess. Do not:
    • Include any part of the username
    • Reuse a former password
    • Use a known compromised password
  • Do not reuse your UC Davis Health password for any other account.
  • If you believe your password may not be secure, reset it immediately (in all locations where it is used)
  • The current version of the Self-Service Password Management Web Portal is for employee use only. Non-Employees should continue to use the windows “ctrl-alt-delete” method to reset their password.
  • If connected to the network, access the Self Service Password Management Webpage for more information.
  • Use LastPass for secure storage and easy access to all personal passwords for work and home (free to anyone with a UC Davis account). If connected to the network, access the IT LastPass Webpage for more information.
