Many MAC ID passwords set to expire

June 16, 2016

Passwords which are more than a year old begin expiring in June. The backlog of expiries will be randomly spread through June and July to ease the transition.  Faculty and staff who have a password which is more than a year old will be required to change their password.

Users are encouraged to pre-emptively change their MAC ID password now using Mosaic. Look either in the “My Profile” tab or in Main Menu >> MAC ID management tools. Users are advised to clear all saved instances of a MAC ID password before changing it. Saved passwords are often found in, for example, email programs/clients and Wi-Fi log-in credentials. Additional instructions are available at www.mcmaster.ca/uts/macid .
