If you happen not to read UTCINFO (& who can blame you), copying & pasting the content of an email that went out today, regarding UTC’s decision to finally begin enforcing password policies. Note the change in URL come July 1st:
“In order to ensure the security of University resources and to align with UT System standards and practices, IT will be implementing changes regarding password expiration and history. The following changes will take effect July 1, 2017.
Passwords will expire and must be reset (once every 180 days for regular employees; 90 days for IRIS users). Upon expiration, accounts will be locked until the password is reset.
Password history will be enforced. This means you will need to choose a new password every time it is reset.
Passwords will be managed by going to https://ds.utk.edu/passwords/
Important: You will no longer change your password at https://iam.utc.edu“
