Change password

You can change your password at: https://account.ru.nl/PasswordChange

For the U-account you are asked to change the password every year, otherwise, your account will be blocked.

For the U-account it is important that you replace the RU password on a mobile device, often stored on the device to avoid having to log in every time, with the new password. Otherwise, an app that often polls your account for new items may cause your account to become blocked if it does that too often with a wrong password.
