IMPORTANT E-PASSWORD SECURITY NOTICE:

E-password authentication was explicitly designed to provide faculty, staff, and students with secure access to online business, academic and personal information. Because of this, e-password has several security requirements. The most important requirement is that you must not share your password with anyone or have possession of anyone else's password. Sharing passwords undermines our security infrastructure and expressly violates Vanderbilt policy.

If you shared your e-password or think others might know it, you need to change it now. To change your e-password go to http://www.vanderbilt.edu/epassword/, select "my e-password options" and follow the instructions.

Please know that there are secure methods that do not require sharing your e-password. Check this page of Myths/facts about e-password sharing, contact your local support provider or LAN manager, or use this form to request help. If you have knowledge of situations where individuals feel it is necessary, or have been instructed, to share their passwords, please report those situations anonymously using the password abuse form.

Thank you for taking responsibility for your e-password security.
