Microsoft 365: Change My Password

Microsoft 365: Change My Password 

Updating your Microsoft password is a streamlined process accessible through the MyAccount portal. It's important to note that when you change your password here, it will simultaneously update the password for all Microsoft 365 services, as well as for your PC, assuming you use your Microsoft credentials for PC login. Post-change, be prepared to re-enter your new password for any active services. Follow the detailed steps provided below to update your password:

1. Access the MyAccount Portal: Begin by navigating to MyAccount Microsoft (https://myaccount.microsoft.com/). This is your central hub for managing your Microsoft account settings.
   
   

2. Sign In: If you are not already logged in, you will need to sign in with your current Microsoft credentials. Enter your username (usually your email) and your current password.
   
   

3. Navigate to Password Settings: Once logged in, look for the "Password" section. This can typically be found in the main dashboard or under account settings/security settings.
   
   

4. Select Password: Click on the "Password" option. This will take you to the password change interface.
   
   

5. Enter Your New Password: You will be prompted to enter your current password and then type in your new password. Aim to create a strong and secure password that is not easily guessed. The Microsoft system employs sophisticated logic to validate the strength of your chosen password. Confirm your new password by re-entering it in the provided field.
   
   

6. Save Changes: After entering your new password, save your changes. There might be a button labeled "Save," "Change Password," or something similar.
   
   

7. Confirmation: Upon successfully changing your password, you should receive a confirmation message. In some cases, you might also receive a confirmation email for additional security.
   
   

Additional Tips and Best Practices

• Unique Passwords: Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. Each password should be unique to its respective account.
• Password Manager: Consider using a password manager to keep track of your various passwords securely.
