Many students have experienced their original passwords being rejected as they log into their Google accounts.

Starting Tuesday, Jan. 19, all Wentzville-issues school Google account passwords have been altered. Instead of the previous 5-digit pin, the password now includes a “wsd” before the numbers. The change was made to provide more security and privacy to students; especially in this time when the majority of classes heavily utilize the internet.

According to Liberty’s IT Technician Jesse Graff, “Google just changed their policy; they needed more characters so they just added ‘wsd’ in the front.”
