Your Duck ID
Your Duck ID is your UO
username and password, your entrée for accessing Blackboard, wireless,
modem, VPN (virtual private network), and your UO email (such as AlphaMail,
the UO's webmail program).
Duck ID is part of the new Identity Management system for UOregon accounts.
It uses security questions, rather than a PAC (UO personal access code)
for password resets.
Getting your Duck ID. If you're new to the university,
you can claim your account by visiting account.uoregon.edu. Enter your
UO ID number and PAC to log in the first time. You will then be asked to
create answers to a set of security questions. If you subsequently forget
your password, the system will ask you to answer those questions before
you can reset it.
Already have a UO Email address? If you already have a UO email
address, you already have a Duck ID. Your Duck ID will be your username--the
part of your email address to the left of the @ sign--and your current
password.
Changing your password. To change your password, go to
account.uoregon.edu. Enter your username, then click the login button.
On the next page, click the Change Password link and follow the directions.
Resetting your password. If you forget your password,
go to account.uoregon.edu. Enter your username, then click the Forgot Password
button. Follow the directions to reset your password.
Password expiration.Your password will expire once every 180 days. One
week before it expires, we will notify you of the expiration date via email
and send you instructions on how to change your password.
