NetID: Changing your NetID Password

This document provides instructions on how to change your NetID account password.

 

New Rice Google account holders use their NetID password to login into Google.

Individuals with Rice Google accounts that were established prior to May 17, 2021, will continue to have a separate Google password that differs from their NetID password until they change one of the passwords and then the passwords will automatically be synchronized. If individuals would prefer to have one less password to remember, they may synchronize them by resetting their password at https://mynetid.rice.edu.


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 1:  Log on to: Online Account Management Page.
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.)
