Non-Expiring Password Policy

Once a NetID account is set up to use Duo two-factor authentication AND the password is reset to a 12 or more-character password, the password will NEVER expire as long as Duo is activated on your device.

*If your existing password is 12 or more characters when you set up two-factor authentication, you will need to reset your password one more time to have the non-expiring password policy added to your account.

Standard Password Policy

For NetID accounts with a password of less than 12 characters, the password will expire every 180 days (6 months).
