Your BoilerKey password consists of either a BoilerKey PIN or your career account password, a comma, and then either the word push or a 6-digit BoilerKey token code (or Duo Mobile passcode). If you are unsuccessful and using a BoilerKey token, go here and choose "Manage my BoilerKey Tokens".
If you're not able to login to other Purdue sites, you can reset your password here: https://www.purdue.edu/apps/account/SSPasswordReset. If neither of those links are able to help you with resetting your password, you can reset your password by contacting ITaP (itap@purdue.edu or 765-494-4000).
BoilerKey PIN: A 4-digit PIN that is created by you. It is then used in place of the Career Account password for Purdue services that are BoilerKey-enabled.
