IADT passwords need to be reset every 90 days, even if they still work for email or the Hub. Also, if you see a "username cannot be identified" error, it’s usually just an expired password - resetting it, clearing browser cookies, and avoiding autofill should fix the issue. Click here for the ICT FAQs page which has instructions, or email ictsupport@iadt.ie.
