Changing a Password

This section contains the following topics:

• Changing password from the Users tab

• Applying password to never expire

• Removing the password to never expire setting

If a user has a System Management role, then only a Superuser or currently logged-in user can see the Change Password option.

You can change your Ivanti Neurons for MDM password. You can also change the password for another user if you have the permission.

Procedure

1. Click the Account icon (upper right).

 

2. Select Change Password from the pull-down menu.

3. Enter your current password.

4. Enter your new password.

5. Enter your new password again.

6. To set the password to not expire, select Set Password to Never Expire.

   Setting the password to never expire overrides the Password Expiration Period defined under Users > User Settings > Password Complexity Setting.
   
   

7. Click Done.

   To reset local account password to expire, unselect Set Password to Never Expire. After the option is unselected, a pop-up window shows the previous password expiration date applied to the user.

   This field will not be displayed if you are changing the password for another user.
