Dear Student, Dear Lecturer,
According to the new mandatory user password management policy, access to University of Pécs (UP) IT services is only allowed with a password that complies with the new policy, which requires UP user accounts to use passwords with a minimum length of 12 characters (mandatory elements: uppercase, lowercase, number, special character; with the last 10 passwords not being repeated).
The central electronic password management support system is available at password.pte.hu
The new mandatory user password management policy sets the password expiry date at 180 days (90 days for lecturers), which means that after this time, users will not be able to access UP systems until they change their password. The user will be notified of the password expiry 14 days before the expiry date by e-mail and in the Windows notifications on the domain computers.
Before changing your password, please make sure to forget your wifi connection on your IT devices to avoid locking your access privileges.
You can conveniently perform the password change in the following ways:
- Via password.pte.hu, the electronic password management support system
- Using the Change Password command from the menu that appears when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del on your domain computer connected to the University wired network (if you are using a personal domain profile)
- As a lecturer, in the Neptun system
Using PTE Central Authentication, you can access a number of university IT services with your username (Neptun/EHA code) and password, which will be affected by the change. The completed password change will be completed with a synchronization with the UP's M365 system, whereby the change will be applied in M365 environments (e.g. Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, etc.).
These processes take some time, so please wait a few minutes after the password change before identifying yourself anywhere in UP systems.
IMPORTANT!
Please note that after changing your password, you need to change the passwords saved on your devices (e.g. eduroam wifi, Teams, Exchange client).
Saved passwords may cause the user account to be locked out, so you will not be able to access UP systems until the account is unlocked, which you can also do at password.pte.hu.
If you encounter a problem changing your password, please contact the Education Management Office at neptun@pte.hu.
