Starting Nov. 2, UMB will implement a nonexpiring password policy. At that time, you have the option to change your password immediately or wait until your next required password change occurs.
The new UMB password policy will simply require that passwords have a minimum length of 12 characters and pass a quality check to ensure that the password hasn’t been previously compromised or could be easily guessed. Passwords set under the new policy will no longer expire or need to be changed unless they are forgotten or compromised.
