New password self-service process
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the LLCC network secure, IT is asking all employees who have not changed their passwords since Aug. 1, 2018 to do so by tomorrow, Nov. 16. Passwords that have not been updated by the end of work tomorrow will be reset automatically.
Instructions for how to go about changing your password can be found here: http://it.llcc.edu/change-password.html.
We recognize that this will present a hardship to some users, but this is necessary to ensure that our infrastructure is secure. The new password self-service process automatically blocks commonly used passwords as well as easily guessed passwords. This will significantly improve our overall network security.
