University Wide Password Change Initiative

There has been an incremental rise in cybersecurity incidents globally, including a more than double increase in those aimed towards higher education institutions.

As part of SFU’s overarching IT security strategy and continued work to improve our systems, we will be conducting a university wide password change initiative as part of an annual implementation plan. 

Changing your SFU Computing ID password, along with other security initiatives such as Multi-Factor Identification (MFA), is another way we can enhance our ability to counter cyberattacks and better protect the SFU community. 

Beginning in mid-August 2021 and rolling out in phases, the SFU community will start to receive a prompt to change their password. Please follow the instructions at that time. When it comes to security, you are the first line of defense. Thank you for doing your part
