User ID + Password = Access Account
Your Penn State password is the private part of your
digital identity. It’s very important that you protect
and guard it as if it were your personal bank account
information, or your social security number. Never
share your password with anyone, including friends
or family members, and make sure you’ve made it
too difficult for someone to crack.
Remember: Penn State will never ask you for
your password!
Your Penn State Access Account user ID and password are the key to a host of Internet services: Help Desks, eLion, the web, Penn State email, University Libraries, ITS computer labs, and much more.
Your user ID (or username) is typically your initials
and a one-to-four digit number, such as xyz5000,
that follows you through your entire Penn State
career. This is the public part of your digital identity,
typically viewed by others when you send email
or fill out information on the web. Your Penn State
email address is, in general, the same as your user ID
