The UCSF Password Management Tool provides you with the ability to update your UCSF password. Prior to changing your password, it is recommended to stop all your devices from connecting to UCSF resources (e.g., WiFi) linked to your account to avoid an account lockout.
You will be able to update your UCSF password within the UCSF Password Management Tool (Detailed below) or via a password reset link within the tool. NOTE: If you do not see the password reset link option when resetting your password, you may contact the IT Service Desk at (415) 514-4100 for assistance to address missing data in your profile.
Once you have updated your UCSF password, be sure to update the passwords of devices used to access the UCSF WiFi network to avoid an account lockout. Learn more about Updating your password to access the UCSF WiFi networks.
