  • Password Management
    • Unless you have a personal system of password management (or a good memory), I recommend using a 'universal' login for anything Berkeley related, i.e. setting your At Your Service Online, etc. Username and Password to be the same as your CalNet ID and Passphrase. This is generally not recommended for security; you may have to sacrifice security for convenience.
    • Alternatively, here are two trustworthy password management services:
