The account lockout policies for most faculty and staff have been strengthened. This decreased the number of consecutive failed account logins to seven attempts, which will then lock the user account.
UW System Administrative Procedure 1030.A, Information Security: Authentication updates, will result in stricter lockout policies.
Locked accounts can be unlocked at password.uwstout.edu. An automatic screen saver lock on all computers that remain idle for longer than 30 minutes will be implemented.
Utilizing presentation settings can prevent the screen saver lock while presenting. [Link for document 78207 is unavailable at this time]
