Luther Seminary - Connecting Phones to Luther Seminary Email Account
Posted by Laura Ledray on 26 July 2018 12:32 PM

When an alum, student, staff, or faculty member changes their password for their Luther Seminary email, they will need to update it on their phone as well (not all users have it on their phones, this is for those who do).

 

Passwords need to be changed once every 300 days, which means users will have to do the following about once a year. This will need to be done on all devices that their Luther Email needs to be updated on: ipad, tablet, computer, phone etc.
