When you enrolled at UniNE, you were given a computer account and a password that you had to change. This account allows you to log in to a university computer to access your software and files. It also grants you access to your email and certain services or applications. Some services, like email, are accessible directly on your mobile devices, so changing your password on these devices is required when you make a change. For more information:
