Question

How long does it take to access my various accounts after a passphrase reset?

Overview

Once you change your passphrase, it will take at least 15-minutes for the passphrase to become effective with most online services. Some systems, on rare occasions, can take overnight before the passphrase change can take effect.

• If you are not connected to the UC Davis network via VPN or on campus, please note that your computer will get the new credentials after you connect to the campus network. This may mean your computer takes the old passphrase first. Your services are not affected by that delay.
• If you are already connected to the UC Davis network, your computer should also require you to log in with the new passphrase once the credentials update after 15 minutes or after your computer locks.

Answer

This table will describe the amount of time it takes after a passphrase reset before you can log into that service. Not all IET services are listed on this chart.

For non IET services like UC Parking Services and ARC memberships, please contact those units directly as they maintain their reset refreshes.
If you are having issues with departmental resources, please reach out to your local IT as they maintain those refreshes. Who is my Local IT?
