IT at UNSW has introduced a new password system called zPass. This will be a more secure password system than the current UniPass system. zPass is gradually being introduced as new online systems are introduced such as Blackboard. See the table below.

UniPass will continue to be used on existing online services such as myUNSW, zMail, eLearning WebCT and Library online etc. If the logon page does not mention zPass then assume it requires a UniPass.

A zPass is a password. You use your zPass along with your UNSW User ID to access services that are zPass enabled. Your user ID is your student number, so your login ID will be in the form of z1234567.

For more information on your user ID and login ID, visit the the usernames page.

You need to create a zPass in Identity Manager. Follow the instructions linked below:

zPass is used only on the systems listed below.

zPass can be optionally used with the new zMail service. UniPass can also be used to log in to zMail.
