Many Ball State employees use their Android or iOS mobile devices to receive Ball State email or access other Ball State resources. On November 17, 2020, the Office of Information Security Services will update the passcode/PIN requirement for those devices from four digits to six digits for all employees.
A six-digit passcode/PIN is 100 times more secure than a four-digit passcode/PIN and will better protect your device and your Ball State accounts should it be lost or stolen.
This requirement is in addition to any biometrics, such as TouchID or FaceID on iOS/iPad OS, or the various fingerprint or facial recognition systems available on Android devices.
