User Passwords and Expiration

All users (both employees and students) have a default password that is randomly generated for that specific user when their account is created.  However, employees (and potentially secondary students) won't actually use their default password as they will set a new password when they claim their account.

Password history (whether you have previously used a password), follows the North Carolina state DIT policy for password "reuse". Currently, you may not use a password that has been used in the previous 24 password changes.
