Management

New Password

Some of our services allow you to request a new password through email. In most cases you will need to come to our consultation hours to request a new password. Please remember to bring your IDs. If you have a LMU Campus Id, so CipConf can solve this problem.

Management of password lists

It is advisable to use a tool like keePass etc.

Use

Where

Which accounts (and passwords) do exist:

Through your “normal” account (created through a combination of your surname and maybe firstname, without any @…):

The RBG is responsible for this password. (CipConf, RBG consulting hours)

Through your LMU/Campus account:

The Campus Helpdesk is responsible for this password.

Other authentication schemes

We currently support no other authentication schemes for most of our services. With the exception of SSH (ssh keys) and gitlab (2FA).

Not in Munich?

If you have a LMU Campus Id so you can change your password with CipConf. We are working on further solutions to securely change passwords while being away from Munich.
