Changes to your password

17/09/2017

Your password is the key to many, often sensitive, data and applications at the WU. To make your password even safer, IT-SERVICES has implemented the following new features.

  • Your account password now needs at least 10 characters.

  • In order to be able to use Wi-Fi at the WU, you now need a separate Wi-Fi password.

  • Both passwords must not be identical.

  • According to the password policy, the current password must differ from the last two previously used passwords.

Please log in at the Controlpanel (https://controlpanel.wu.ac.at) and change your current account password. Then also set a new Wi-Fi password.

We recommend that you register your cell phone in the Controlpanel as well, so you can reset your passwords at any time.

We ask you to reset your passwords as soon as possible, at the latest by the following deadlines.

GroupDeadline
WU EmployeesMay 1st 2017
WU StudentsMay 31st 2017

For security reasons, ALL unchanged passwords will be invalid after the dates stated above.

If you have not set your new passwords until the dates stated, you are not able use any IT services at the WU (e.g.: LPIS, email, Controlpanel). In order to gain access to IT services again, you need to visit the IT Support Center (Building LC, Level 1 - see location on Campus) in person and get a new account password.

Thank you very much for your help with this change.
