New password rules for the HAW account!

From 11 November 2024, a new password policy will apply to the HAW account: In future, only passwords with at least 10 characters can be assigned. In addition, the previous regulations will continue to apply.

This change will eliminate the need to regularly assign a new password for the HAW account. The automatic expiry of passwords will be switched off.

Please note: 
If your password does not yet contain 10 characters at this time, please change it urgently before 11 November 2024, otherwise you will no longer be able to change your password yourself!

To change your password, please go to www.haw-hamburg.de/en/haw-account and click on the grey tile ‘HAW account: change password’. 
By clicking on the tile, you can also use your second factor to assign a suitable password if you have forgotten your current password.

Your password should now be created according to the following rules:

  • at least 10 characters
  • three of the following four conditions must be met
    - Lower case
    - upper case letters
    - digits
    - special characters

Do not use the two most recently used passwords or any personal data, such as your own name, username or e-mail address. Remember: A strong password is for your own security! 

If you are no longer able to log in, please contact the UserHelpDesk (UHD) at: www.haw-hamburg.de/en/haw-account
