Change My Password

Cybersecurity Challenge

All individuals with a Mednet account are required to log into the Check / Change Mednet Password Website to check if password/passphrase is compliant with new security standards. If it is not compliant, create a new password/passphrase to avoid being scheduled for a forced lockout.

Don't get locked out during forced password reset starting February through April.

Your new password/passphrase must be considered strong or very strong. Review FAQs →

Your new password must also contain three out of four of the following:

  • Lowercase letter
  • Uppercase letter
  • Number
  • Special characters (e.g., !@#$%^&*)

Your new password/passphrase must not:

  • Contain your username
  • Contain your first, middle, or last name
  • Be any of your previous 5 passwords
  • Contain spaces, commas, colons, single quotation marks, less/greater than angle brackets (><)

Important: Before changing password, collect and have nearby any mobile devices currently enrolled in Intelligent Hub (AirWatch) as well as laptops/desktops you use to access the Mednet network.

After changing password, immediately enter your new password/passphrase when prompted on your mobile device(s). For your laptop/desktop, log out and then log back in with your new password/passphrase. If you're on VPN, follow these step-by-step instructions

Your Mednet password is used across all services/technology provided to you by UCLA Health IT such as CareConnect, all Mednet email domains, managed laptops/desktops, VPN, and timesheets, and many more! Be sure to avoid lockouts and review the instructions provided

Changing Your Password When Off the Mednet Network

If you are not on the Mednet network, you will need to access the Change Mednet Password page by authenticating in with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Please see Duo for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for more information.

When changing a password on VPN (Global Protect) or offsite (off any UCLA Health Network), a Mednet user must lock their computer with an active VPN connection and log back in with their new credentials. If this step is not performed you may experience password related issues on your workstation when logging in.
