+==== ICS Account/ICS Gsuite Password Synchronization to End====
+Final ICS Account/ICS Gsuite password synchronization has been delayed until 1/5/2021.   Unexpected messages were received during a test run of the new account synchronization.  Out of an abundance of caution we have delayed implementation until after the break while we work with our Google support team to ensure the notifications are harmless.
+On January 5, 2021 ICS Computing Support will begin managing ICS account passwords and ICS Gsuite passwords separately.  **Most users will not immediately notice this change.** But this change means that, in the future, in order to change your [[accounts:ics_google_apps|ICS Gsuite]] passwords you will use a new tool.  There will be no changes to the way that [[accounts:faqs|ICS account]] passwords are managed.
