Setting your UMD Password

The University of Maryland encourages you to set strong passwords or "passphrases." This will be the same password for your UMD Google Account, and your account to log in to University systems like computers, the VPN, and web applications.

You can change your UMD account password at password.umd.edu.

UMD removed Security Questions in favor of strong Passphrases. You can read more about the change to Passphrases at this IT Support Article.
