How to removed saved passwords (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox)
- Staff account lockout issues
- Removing saved passwords
- Always ensure that after you change your password, you also update your saved University password on all your devices - laptops, smartphones, tablets, and so on. If there are out-of-date passwords stored, your devices could be trying to log you in with the wrong password - this can cause the account to be locked out, preventing you from logging in.
If you are experiencing issues with your account regularly locking out, it is likely that a cached (saved) password is conflicting with your account. To clear any potentially conflicting password data in your browsers, please refer to the relevant articles linked below:
