Password reset policy effective November 1st
In an effort to improve security, Technology Services will be implementing new password policies starting Wednesday November 1st. CISD staff will be required to change their network passwords every 180 days.
The password requirements are as noted below:
Remember, after completing the password change process and logging into your computer, you will need to use your new password to log in to CISD applications and services such as Skyward, Eduphoria, Webmail, WiFi, etc. Also, if you have CISD email on other devices (such as an iPad or phone), please remember to update the settings.
Password changes must be done while on the district network. If you would like to get ahead of the game and change your password now, you may do so by clicking on the link below. Make sure you follow the password requirements above, otherwise you will be required to change your password again on November 1st.
