Change Your Password

Change the password you use to sign in to your website's admin.

Before you start: be signed in, and have your current password ready. If you have forgotten it, reset it instead.

  1. Select My Account at the top right of any admin screen.

The screen says Your password has been updated, and you stay signed in. Use the new password the next time you sign in. Passwords are case sensitive.

The new password must be different from your current one, must match what you typed the second time, and must be at least four characters long. A longer password that is not used anywhere else is safer. The screen tells you which of these needs fixing if a change does not go through.
