Change your password
Change the password of your account in Account, when you still remember the old one.
This page helps you change your password when you still remember the old one.
Change your password
- Open Account and click Security.
- Type your current password into Old password.
- Type the new password, at least 8 characters, into New password.
- Type the new password again into Confirm new password.
- Click Update password.
If the change works, a green message says "Your password has been updated successfully".
After you change your password
Other browsers using this account must sign in again. The browser you used to change the password stays signed in.
Good to know: a browser that still remembers your account under Choose an account can open the account without asking for the new password. If you changed your password because you fear someone else knows it, also click the trash icon beside the account in that browser.
If you cannot change it
- If it says "Password is not correct.", the old password is wrong. Type it again.
- If you do not remember the old password, use Forgot password? on the sign-in page. See Forgot your password.
- If this page says "Your account is linked to the external provider. Please change your password at the external provider instead.", your organization keeps your password somewhere else. Change it there.
