Penn State Password

You have two accounts, your Penn State Account and your OPP Account. The passwords may be the same for both accounts, but if you change one, it will not change the other.

Your Penn State Account is used to log in anywhere you see the "Penn State Web Access" screen with the thumb-print.

You will use this login to access your time card, the Customer Information System (CIS), employee information in ESSIC, and various other PSU systems.

 

Changing Your Penn State Password

You need to change your Penn State password at regular intervals. You will receive email notifications when this needs to be done.

ITS Staff will never ask for your password via email, over the phone, or in person. The only valid way to change your Penn State password is through work.psu.edu/password. NEVER send your password via email or any other method.

  1. Select "Change my password."
  2. Log-in using your current Penn State password.
  3. Follow the instructions. Enter your access account ID, current password, and your new password. Enter your new password again in the last box to confirm it.
  4. Click on "Change Password" and you are finished.
  5. If you have not already set up your security questions, it is recommended that you do so.

 

Setting Up Your Security Questions

Setting up security questions allows you to update your password from the website if you forget your password, or if the password expires.

Set up your security questions at work.psu.edu/password.

  1. Choose "Set/Update my security questions."
  2. Verify your identity. On the next three screens, enter your PSU ID number, date of birth, and confirm your name.
  3. Choose three security questions and enter your secret answers. Click "Submit" when completed.

I Have Forgotten my Password

If you have set up security questions, you can reset your password at work.psu.edu/password.

  1. Select "I have forgotten my password."
  2. Enter your Access Account ID (your email ID).
  3. Verify your identity. On the next three screens, enter your PSU ID number, date of birth, and confirm your name.
  4. Answer one of the three security questions you have set up. Type your answer and submit.
  5. Create your new password. Enter the password twice for verification, then select "Change Password."
