UF is updating its Gatorlink Account Management system this summer to include extra layers of security.  After the upgrade you will receive notifications and confirmations of password resets / changes via text message (SMS), email or voice call.  Additionally, the self-service password reset system will be similarly changed.  This is a system most banks and credit unions use and many large cloud services have adopted and is aimed at making account hijacking through the ‘forgot my password’ system and through phishing attempts much harder.

To prepare for this change UF is asking that you update your personal info in the myUFL system to include a personal home phone and/or personal/work cellphone numbers.  You will also have the option to include personal email addresses.

A little more information about this change can be found on the UFIT News channel at https://news.it.ufl.edu/security/update-your-personal-info-in-myufl (UFIT News article expired and was removed October 2022).
