Changing your Password off Campus Using Online Password Portal

Overview

Your password must be changed once every 365 days. You will start getting reminder notifications two weeks before it expires.

There are two ways to change your Latin password, the first being the easiest:

1. NoMAD
   A small app that lives on the menu bar of your work computer. This is the preferred method since it updates not only your core Latin accounts (Google login, LatinAuth login, etc.) but also your computer's user login password. Note that NoMAD only works while connected to Latin's network on campus. 
   
   
2. password.latinschool.org
   Latin's website for changing only the password for your Latin accounts from any browser. 

Passwords changed via the password.latinschool.org website can be accessed from any device on any network; however, they only update the password for your Latin accounts. You will still need to manually change your computer's login if you want it to match your account password.

We highly recommend that if you have a Latin issued device and have time to change your password onsite, you follow the steps outlined in the article linked here. 

Otherwise, the following will outline how to change your Latin account password off campus only.

**Important Note**

Please ensure that if you follow this method and have a Latin issued device, you follow all the steps outlined in this article. Otherwise, you will encounter issues when logging into your computer.
