Beginning July 9, WSU passwords will no longer expire

Information Security is pleased to announce that, starting July 9, WSU passwords will no longer expire. This change aligns with the National Institutes of Technology (NIST 800-63b) standards and guidelines.

What this means for you:

  • You will no longer be required to change your password every 180 days.
  • Password updates will only be necessary if you forget your password or your WSU account is compromised or suspected of being compromised.
