If you want to change the password for the access to the internal WLAN (at DESY) select DESY.
2. Then enter a new password in the New Password field. Note from UCO: Feel free to use the Password Generation Helper to create a new password (see next point).
3. Re-enter your new password in the Retype New Password field for confirmation.Retype New Password zur Bestätigung erneut ein.
    

Generate a random password

The Password Generation Helper allows you to create a secure password. With a click on Create Random Password a random password is suggested. You can then type or copy it.

Feel free to use the Password Generation Helper to create a secure password. Otherwise, please refer to the password tips from DESY IT security (The page is only accessible in the internal network and only in German):

Check current password

Before you set a new password, you can use Check your current password to check whether you can still remember a password correctly.

If you have problems with a service such as WLAN, it may be useful to check the password to exclude it as a source of error.
