CHANGE vs. RESET: If you have forgotten your NetID password, you can reset it. Follow these directions: NetID: How to Reset a Forgotten NetID Password
Before proceeding, you must be enrolled in Duo Authentication. Logging into the Online Account Management System (https://mynetid.rice.edu) requires using Duo.
If you are already enrolled in Duo, or after you complete enrollment, start at Step 1.
Step 2: Choose your Duo authentication method by selecting one of the three buttons: Send Me a Push, Call Me, or Enter a Passcode. (The example in this document uses a mobile phone with the Send Me a Push button.)
On your mobile phone, a notification for a login request will appear. Select Approve.
Note: if you do not Approve the notification promptly, your Login request can time out.
Step 3: Select the Change your account passwords option. In the next screen, select the option for Netid Password.
Enter your new password (making sure it meets the criteria listed below), re-type the password, and click Submit.
