Forgotten your username or password?

If you have forgotten your username or password, you will need to reset your password.

Your username will appear in bold once you enter your ID number and Date of Birth correctly and go to the next page.

Your username for new students will likely be in the format of your ID number with an 's' in front e.g; s123456789

Need to change your password?

Changing your password regularly is good for security and for staff, we will ask you to change it every 18 months. Students do not have this requirement, but it is still good practice. It's important to change your password when we remind you, because if you don't we'll need to disable your account to keep it secure.

It is best practice to use a different password for each of your online accounts. If you have trouble remembering all of your passwords, you can use a password manager to securely store them in one place. Deakin recommends students and staff use LastPass. LastPass not only stores passwords but lets you generate new ones, too.
