And, let’s face it, even if we do come up with the strongest password in the world, we’ll all have to change it every now and then for security purposes.

Changing your password is not something that you have to do every now and then just for the sake of it, sometimes you’ll probably feel like you need to change it because you think that someone, somewhere saw it while you were typing it in a public place, or maybe because you logged in to your account on a public computer and then forgot to log out.

5. Once you’ve accessed your account enter your new password in the “New Password” box at the top of the page.
6. Confirm your new password by typing it again in the next field.
