StarID Passwords

The StarID is a username that replaces many login IDs with one ID and one password. Change your password in one place — starid.minnstate.edu — and it will change everywhere.

How do I change my password?

Visit the web site minnstate.edu
Select the “StarID Self Service” link, then select “Reset Password”
Select one of the options on the next page (Tech ID, Email Address…)
Enter the requested information and set your password.

If you know your password:

Visit the web site “starid.minnstate.edu”
Select the “StarID Self Service” link, then select “Manage Profile”
Login to the StarID Self Service Login page with your current StarID password
Enter your old password and new password into the text boxes.
Select the “Apply” button in the “Change Password” section.

How do I know when my StarID password will expire?

The StarID system sends email to your preferred email address 21 days, 7 days, and 1 day before your password expires.

My password has expired.

You may reset your password by following the “Reset Password” link at StarID Self Service.

What are the password requirements?
