What services rely on my La Trobe account?
When you change or reset your password you are changing your password for all of the following systems:
- LMS
- StudentOnLine
- Library
- Wireless
- Allocate+
- InPlace
- PebblePad
- MyLaTrobe App
Once you have successfully changed your password you will need to use your new password to access these systems.
What else can I do to stay safe online?
- Never write down or distribute your password
- Make sure to log out of any machine you have used, and never leave a workstation unattended
- Make sure any computer you use has antivirus software installed and updated, and an active firewall. All La Trobe computers have this in place
- Don’t click on links or pop ups unless you know what they are
- Never download or install unknown software from a website
Never open attachments unless you are expecting the email, and always scan attachments for viruses. Even if an email has come from a known email account, viruses can be spread by spamming whole address lists.
