Immediately update the passwords in all applications, such as Office 365, Teams, OneDrive, email, and calendar. Also, consider various services, such as VPN, printing, and Wi-Fi (uva or eduroam) that you use on those devices.

All UvA students and staff must change their UvAnetID password annually to work safely digitally.
You will automatically receive an email (+ reminders) when you need to change your password.

As soon as you change your password, the block will be removed and you will be able to use your UvAnetID once again.
