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. &
NEVER OPEN LINKS FROM UNTRUSTED E-MAILS, particularly regarding your SISSA username & password. Please read the page: SECURITY WARNING ABOUT PASSWORDS

All SISSA users can change the own password through the web pages:
http://password.sissa.it/ or https://people.sissa.it/password.php

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

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...) 

—- A single SISSA account used by an intruder to send SPAM by using our mail services, causes an automatic insertion of our services in global anti-spam black lists, so legitimate SISSA e-mails could be rejected.
