ID Maintenance and Passwords
ID Maintenance provides a web-based user interface (my.osu.edu) that allows users to manage their Ohio State digital identity: username, password, email delivery, preferred name, and more.
As an Ohio State faculty, staff member, and/or student you must change the password associated with your name.# every 180 days. You will receive an email reminder 14, 7, and 1 day prior to your password expiration date. If you know the current password for your Ohio State internet username, there are step-by-step instructions online to walk you through changing it. If you have forgotten this password, refer to my.osu.edu: Forgotten Ohio State Username or Password for instructions on how to reset your password.
Password management impacts the Risk Management Program standards and requirements IT 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
