Heartbleed: reset your Â鶹AV Password
In April, we emailed you about the Heartbleed vulnerability and its potential impact on Â鶹AV. All of Â鶹AV's central IT systems have been evaluated, and updates were applied where needed. As a final precaution, we strongly encourage you to change your Â鶹AV Password without delay.Ìý
If you are a Â鶹AV staff member, you are required to change your password.
When changing your Â鶹AV Password, remember to make it complex (try adding symbols and numbers), and unique (don't use the same password for online banking, cloud storage, social media, etc.). If you currently use the same password for other non-Â鶹AV accounts, you may wish to change those as well. That way, even if one online account is compromised in the future, all of your other accounts will be secure.
To reset your Â鶹AV Password:
- Faculty, staff, & students: log into Minerva, and go to the Personal Menu > Password for Â鶹AV Username.Ìý
- Affiliates: go to Reggie and click on Change Account Information, then select Â鶹AV Password.Ìý
Note: If you have more than one Â鶹AV Username that is used solely by you (for example, you have a student and a staff account), your new password will apply to both accounts.
Once you've followed the onscreen instructions to change your password, use the Â鶹AV Password Reset Checklist to help you identify various IT services where you might have saved your Â鶹AV Password.Ìý
While Â鶹AV will be sending faculty, staff, students, and resource account sponsors an email message with similar content to this announcement, please note that we will never send you a message to "click here to reset your password".
