What is my CalNet token?

Obtaining your CalNet token is an important step in creating a secure login for every member of the UC Berkeley community. It is an electronically-generated sequence of characters issued to each student, faculty, staff, or affiliate by an authorized CalNet Deputy. This token is then used to create the user's unique Passphrase. The Passphrase, used in combination with one's CalNet ID, allows the user access to many computer resources on Campus.
