Changing your ACCRE password

How do I change my ACCRE account password?

After you have logged in to the cluster (login.accre.vanderbilt.edu) using your existing password, type in accre_password change and follow the instructions. Your password must meet the following requirements:

  1. Your ACCRE password must be at least 14 characters long, and not more than 4096.
  2. Your password must receive a perfect score on the ZXCVBN test. If you need a password that can pass the ZXCVBN test, type in accre_password generate.
  3. In addition to uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, you may use non-ASCII characters (including emoji and characters in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). However, you may have difficulty logging in later with different keyboards or terminal utilities. All characters must be printable and in UTF-8.

Your password change will take effect immediately.
