When do I need a device password?

Device passwords are not necessary for accessing your Drew Google account via a web browser .or for the most common mobile email apps on iPhones and Android devices.

They will still be prompted to log in again every 90 days with the changing of their device password by the system. Please note that this update does not yet affect third-party email programs (such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Microsoft Outlook). |

*If you no longer need the device password, you can leave this turned on so that you know when you will be prompted to log in with your normal password again, or you can disable notifications.
What happens when my device password expires?
When your device password expires, the system will generate a new one for you. If you have selected Enable Notifications, the system will send you an email several days before the device password expires and after it has been automatically changed. Once your device password changes, your smartphone, tablet, or other email software may stop receiving new email and calendar updates. Most phones will automatically prompt you to sign in, or will specifically ask for the new password. If you are directed to a uLogin page, you can log in using your Drew username and normal password (and two-factor Duo approval). Otherwise, visit the self-service site to obtain your new device password and enter it into your device. Your device should start sending and receiving email and calendar updates normally. You can find more detailed instructions below.
If you are not prompted for your password, try restarting your phone. You can also search for information about changing the password on your device at your service provider's site (for example, at http://www.apple.com/support/ or http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/).For those with the updated Gmail app that works with two-factor authentication: You will need to log in using your Drew username and password every 90 days, when your device password expires.
...
We cannot extend the 90 day deadline for device password changes. However, you can reset your device password early to ensure uninterrupted service while you are away. Before your trip, simply visit the self-service site to check when your device password expires. If it will expire during your trip, click Generate a new device password to expire your current password immediately and generate a new one. This new password will expire in 90 days. Enter the new password into your phone and you will be able to enjoy uninterrupted service while you are away.

When your device password changes, your phone will display an error message asking for your password when it tries to retrieve your email. ** NOTE ** Newer versions of the Gmail app will direct you to a uLogin page. If your phone does this, log in with your regular username and password - NOT your device password. **
