At this time, ECU-assigned Mac users are unable to use the PirateID Self Service system at pirateid.ecu.edu. Faculty and staff assigned an ECU-managed Mac system must change their password locally through Jamf Connect or the Change Password option to ensure the new password is synchronized through all encryption layers of the computer.
