Note: This article applies to Digital Services-managed workstations running Windows 10. To change your password on a Digital Sservices-managed workstation running Windows 11, see "Changing your password using a Digital Services-managed Windows 11 PC"

Each time you change your Deakin password, you will also need to update the password for the Deakin services you are using on your mobile device(s) (for example email, Wi-Fi).  If you don't update your details, your account may be locked, as your mobile devices will continually try and use your old password. Please close Outlook prior to changing your password for the same reason.
