BearAware's effort to help you avoid phishing emails.

Side note: Baylor does not use Dropbox for file storage. Baylor uses Box.
Heads up! Another phishing email has hit campus accounts asking you to click & sign in for a security update due to phishing. This is a phish. Do not click the link.

Bobby,
Your BearID password will soon expire. It will need to be changed before expiration to ensure uninterrupted access to campus systems that use your BearID, such as email and AirBear.
Account Username: Bobby_Baylor
Expiration Date: 04/21/2017
The best way to change your BearID password is from the Baylor ITS website. On the front ITS web page you will find the Reset Password button. Follow the instructions to change your password.
Important: Any device or application (such as a smart phone, tablet, and mail client) which contains your password, will also need to be updated with the new password. Note that there may be a time delay for the update to affect your device/application, while your new password populates across all IT systems.
To check the validity of this email, click on the Reset Password button on the ITS web page and read FAQ #5.
