The ingenuity of hackers knows no bounds, human curiosity is also boundless, and those who want to leave spam on your behalf are not diminishing. The account contains information about the registered user. To prevent anyone from using your account, there are passwords. "Password protected" can be your user record on a computer, an account on a social network, on a forum, or with a search engine. Only you know the password, but this does not guarantee peace: sooner or later situations will arise when you need to change it.
Necessary
- computer
- Internet connection
- at least one registered account
Instructions
Step 1
To change the password for a user account on a computer, open the Start menu - Control Panel - User Accounts and Family Safety - User Accounts. Your account window will open. Select the line "Change your password". Next, you will be prompted for several fields: one for entering the current password and two for entering and repeating a new one. As a hint, you can enter a password hint in a special field, but remember that it will be visible to others. Then click Change Password. Next time you will be logged in with a new password.
Step 2
Surely, you have a contact account. Changing the password in this network is carried out in the settings (neither are in the menu, on the left side of the page). Select My settings, in the list of settings, find Change password. Again, there will be three fields: one for recording the current password and two for a new one and repeat it. When filling in the fields on the right, a hint pops up: the minimum password length is 6 characters, it is better to use letters and numbers; make sure the Caps Lock key is disabled when creating a new password. Otherwise, the next time you enter the password while the cap is disabled, it will be incorrect (it will be a different password). Then click the Change Password button.
Step 3
In classmates, you also log into your account with a password. To change it here, find the menu under your photo, click Change settings. In the list of settings that appears, select Password. A window with fields for entering a password will appear at the top of the page: one field for the current one and two for a new one, as in the previous cases. Make up the password more difficult, more authentic. When you're happy, click Save.
Step 4
When registering on the forums, we also fill out questionnaires with our personal data and protect our pages with passwords. The password change form is available in the forums in the Profile menu. You enter the editing of the profile and, according to the already familiar scheme, write the old password, then the new one, then repeat it. At the bottom of the page, after all the data, there is a Save changes button.
Step 5
Your mail account on communication Internet portals (Mail, Yandex, Google) also has a password. To change your Mail.ru e-mail password, you should use the Settings (they are in the mail, under the Exit button), then - Password, the traditional three fields to fill out. But below there is one more thing - for entering numbers that are depicted distorted (this is done then so that the system identifies you as a person who manually enters the text, and not a bot that is automatically registered). A similar procedure for changing the password is used on other communication portals.
