how to change password in gmail

Changing your password

Here's how to change your password:

1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click the gear icon at the top of any Gmail page, then Mail settings, and open the Accounts and Import tab.
3. In the 'Change account settings' section, click Change password.
4. In the new window, enter your current password and your new password.

Make sure you create a unique password to help keep someone from breaking in to your account. Here are a few tips for creating your password, and keeping it safe:

• Never tell anyone your password.
• It should be easy for you to remember without being obvious for someone else to guess.
• Never write down your password. Even though your password will look random to others, think of a way to remember it so that you don't have to write it down.
• Change your password periodically.
• Don't choose a dictionary word as your password. Be creative.
• Include punctuation marks. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Use numbers. A variety of characters makes it harder to guess a password.

If your password isn't working, you'll need to go through our password recovery process. Google Apps users, please contact your organization's IT admin for help with password recovery.
