Changing Password for TAC, eSchool, etc

Importing…Two times each year the state (ADE/DESE) asks all users to change their SSO password. This is the account that begins with 7208. This includes logins for TAC, eSchool, and several other state portals.

Below is a sample message you will soon receive if you have not already. Watch your email for a message from “ADE District Security” with the subject “State Active Directory Account Confirmation”.

Be sure to confirm your account by changing your password before the deadline. This is either the end of February or the end of August. Failure to change your password by the deadline will result in the state removing your account.
