Every Microsoft Surface Hub device account requires a password to authenticate and enable features on the device. For security reasons, you may want to change (or "rotate") this password regularly. However, if the device account’s password changes, the password that was previously stored on the Surface Hub will be invalid, and all features that depend on the device account will be disabled.

The Surface Hub can manage a device account’s password by changing it frequently without requiring you to manually update the device account’s information. You can enable this feature in **Settings**. Once enabled, the device account's password will change weekly during maintenance hours.

> If your organization uses a hybrid topology (some services are hosted on-premises and some are hosted online through Office 365), you must setup the device account in **domain\username** format. Otherwise, password rotation will not work.
