To change your access.caltech password, click on the 'Manage My Password' tab in the main access.caltech application.

Enter your current password, your new password and a confirmation of your new password.

If your new password meets all access.caltech password criteria, your password is changed. You must use this new password when you log into access.caltech the next time, when using any function that requires re-authentication (e.g., time-out) or when using any Common Sign On application.

If your new password does not meet all access.caltech password criteria, you will be presented with an error screen that displays the specific criteria that was not met.

Because some password choices are easy to guess, access.caltech also precludes passwords that are the following.
 
  • Common dictionary words
  • Simple repeating patterns
  • Your name or account name
