  • Make it memorable but complex

  • No Verification Required: Unlike email changes, password changes don't require email verification

  • Security: Your old password becomes invalid as soon as the new one is set

  • Sessions: You may need to sign in again on other devices

Troubleshooting Password Changes

Password not meeting requirements?

  • Check that all requirements are met (length, case, numbers, special characters)

  • The system will show specific error messages for each requirement

  • Try a different combination that meets all criteria

Can't remember your new password?

  • Use the "Forgot Password" feature on the login page

  • This will send a password reset link to your email

  • You can then set a new password through the reset process

Security Considerations

Email Changes
