Your UMICH password is the password associated with your U-M uniqname. You use it when you log in to Wolverine Access and to most U-M computing services (such as U-M Google, your MCommunity Directory profile, and more).
Your UMICH password is synchronized to several systems, so you need only remember one password to get access to multiple university computing services.
Michigan Medicine
In Spring of 2024, Health Information Technology & Services (HITS) is beginning a phased process to move to one UMICH Common Password. Currently, Michigan Medicine users have two different passwords: UMICH (Level-1) and Michigan Medicine (Level-2). Once the project is complete, Michigan Medicine users will use their UMICH password for logins across U-M and Michigan Medicine. In addition, beginning in March 2024, most users with a Michigan Medicine affiliation will be redirected from UMICH Account Management to the Michigan Medicine User Profile tool, https://lvl2.med.umich.edu, for password management.
Password Security Recommendations
- Do not use your UMICH password for any systems outside the university. Use different passwords for these services. Visit Protect Your Passwords & Identity for more information.
- Use two-factor (Duo) authentication. All U-M employees, students, and sponsored affiliates are required to use two-factor for Weblogin to protect their U-M account. Retirees and alumni are encouraged to do so.
- Choose a secure UMICH password that is strong, memorable, and unique for U-M use.
- If you suspect your account has been compromised, change your password right away!
- Change your password if it has been at risk. See the Password Security Checklist for situations that might put your password at risk.
