PURPOSE Resetting a password safely helps prevent account takeover and avoids locking yourself out. BEFORE YOU START Make sure you are using a legitimate reset page. Do not reset through links from suspicious emails. STEPS Go directly to the known sign-in page or approved reset page. Request the reset, verify your identity, choose a unique password, and sign in again. AFTER RESETTING Update saved passwords only after confirming the new password works. Sign out of old sessions when offered. SECURITY TIP If you reset because of suspicious activity, report the issue instead of only changing the password.
