How To Change Your Password

Duck ID passwords expire automatically every 180 days. Our system will e-mail you a reminder notice seven business days before your password expires.

Changing your password may require more work than selecting a new password. Some programs store your e-mail password for your convenience. When you change your password, you need to update any program that has your old password saved. Programs that often store your password are e-mail programs (like Eudora and Outlook Express) and modem dial-in software, which is part of your computer's operating system.
