If you are unable to log in to UConn systems or lose access to UConn-Secure Wi-Fi, one of the first troubleshooting steps is to make sure your NetID password is synchronized with our systems. You check this by performing a password test.

NetID passwords can become unsynchronized for various reasons; for example, age can be a factor. Old or outdated passwords can result in users losing access to various University applications (most commonly Wi-Fi and Active Directory).

Running a NetID Password Test

  1. Navigate to the NetID website.

  2. Sign in with your NetID and NetID password.

  3. Click on My NetID in the blue ribbon.  

  4. Select Password Test from the drop-down menu.

  5. Enter your login information. 

All three tests should pass and show a "Synchronized" message in the box next to it. 

If one of the test results is red (i.e., Unsynchronized), see Changing Your NetID Password.
