Different devices and applications may prompt you for an updated passphrase. The links below will help if you don't have an option to supply a new passphrase automatically.

Smartphones and Tablets

Smartphones and tablets will need settings adjusted if you check your Gustavus email, calendars or any other resources listed above with them. For smartphones, tablets and iOS devices, if you are not prompted to update your passphrase when you check e-mail, send e-mail or check your calendar, we recommend you remove the account and add it back.


Machine Logins

Faculty and staff will need to log into their office computers with their new passphrase while connected to the Gustavus network. If you change your passphrase when you are off campus, the next time you return to campus you will need to use your new passphrase for logging in.

  • Macintosh Computers - Occasionally users will have issues with keychains after changing their Gustavus User Account passphrase. For help with keychains on Macintosh, please see: Fixing Keychain Issues.
  • Windows Computers - use your new passphrase to log into your computer.

Students should user their new password for logging into lab machines or other campus owned computers.

Moodle, Web Resources and Google Calendar

Please use your new password for logging into Moodle, Google Apps or other Gustavus web resources when you see the Gustavus Single Sign On page (the Gustavus skyline login screen).
