PIN's

PIN's are six-digit numbers utilized as passwords in conjunction with your tech ID.

Initially, your PIN is set to either:

• your birth date in the form YYMMDD
  • for example, August 26, 1953 would generate a PIN of 530826
• the last six digits of your social security number

The first time that you login using your initial PIN, you will be forced to change it to virtually any six-digit number of your choice.

Your PIN keeps whatever value you have set it to unless:

• you change it (one of the options within the web system)
• your PIN is reset (it then changes to one of the initial values, which will mean that you will be forced to change it when next you login)

Minnesota State University, Mankato has tailored the entrance to the MnSCU web system to suit its needs. Thus, people are from time to time asked or shown information about their email address and billing.

There are provisions on the web login page for looking up your PIN in case you have forgotten it.
