PirateID Username and Password

Overview

Newly-hired faculty and staff, newly-admitted and prospective students automatically receive a username, or PirateID, when their ECU account is created. The user activates the PirateID account, creates a unique, secure, 15-character password following ECU criteria and sets up multifactor authentication for accessing ECU resources.

Alumni accounts also follow required password reset criteria.

PirateID accounts for users who perform unpaid services for ECU that require a Banner ID like adjunct/non-paid faculty, visiting students, volunteers and some contractors are requested through the Unpaid Affiliate Account request.
