How to change your SISSA main cluster PASSWORD
You have to change your password at least every 6 months (in the future we will send you a reminder about this) and immediately after the opening of your account.
Keep in mind that:
our computer staff member will NEVER ask by e-mail for your password.
Please read the page: SECURITY WARNING ABOUT PASSWORDS
The simpler way to change your password
All SISSA users can change the own password through the web page: http://password.sissa.it/
To change your password using ssh.sissa.it
Please note: this procedure is not valid for guest and visitor accounts.
1) Login on ssh.sissa.it using the command:
ssh yourSISSAusername@ssh.sissa.it
2) use the command:
sissa-passwd
Special note
Each user is personally responsible for respecting Italian, European and international laws about any illegal action done using his/her account. Any violation of these laws may lead to civil and penal sanctions by the competent authorities. For more information about laws regarding passwords, please read this [[:sis:regulations:leggepassword|section of the law]] ...in italian only...)
