Why is my password for my offline agenda different from my online agenda?
If you selected to use the offline agenda it will initially have the same password as your online agenda. When you change your eID password (required every semester) your offline agenda password remains unchanged until the next time you login to K-State Calendar. At that time, you will have to enter your new eID password. You will then be prompted for your old password for the offline agenda. You will then have the option to sync your password.
Note: Do not use the Replace on-line password with off-line password - this option won't work.
If you choose to keep your offline agenda password different, a dialog box will appear when you sign in and whenever you switch from online work mode to offline or vice versa.
To avoid problems with offline agenda passwords, see Disabling the Off-line Agenda .
