How to Change Your Password
Before You Change Your Password
We can’t emphasize enough that passwords are your first line of defense against hacking attempts.
A lot of times users end up using a weak password because it’s easy to remember. Please don’t do that. You can use one of the many free and secure password managers.
Sometimes it might be tempting to share your WordPress passwords with team members or even contract developers. You should never do that.
Instead, we recommend creating a new user account with the right user role, so you can manage permissions.
This way you can easily delete their account when they’re no longer part of your team without having to change your main password.
That being said, let’s take a look at different ways to change your WordPress password.
How to Change Your Password
This is the easiest way to change your WordPress password.
First thing you need to do is log in to your site. You can do this by entering your login URL (for example, https://example.com/admin/) in your browser.
Once you are logged in, go to Users » Your Profile from your admin menu.
On the profile, you need to scroll down to the Account Management section where you will see New Password option. Go ahead and click on the ‘Generate Password’ to add a new password.
The prompt will automatically create a strong password for you.
You can continue with this strong password or change it with a new password of your own.
After that, click the ‘Update Profile’ button to save your new password.
Once done, you will see a Profile Updated notification on the top.
How to Reset Your Password
The above method lets you change your password when you have access to your dashboard.
But what if you lost your password and cannot log in?
Don’t panic, there is a super-easy way to recover your lost password in WordPress.
You can simply go to the WordPress login page (https://example.com/admin) and click on the ‘Lost your password?’ link.
After clicking on that, it will take you to the password reset page. You need to either enter your username or email address to reset the password on your account.
Once done, Sermon Sites will send a password reset link to the email address associated with your user account.
