Why does it matter?
An account that reaches your accounting system deserves a decent password, and a way to check nobody else is using it.
03 · How
Change your password
- Go to Settings → Security.
- Under Change password, enter your current password.
- Enter the new one twice. It needs at least 8 characters, with uppercase, lowercase and numbers.
- Use the eye icon on any field to check what you typed.
- Press
Change password.
To sign in with Google instead, press Link account next to Google in Linked Accounts.
04 · Expected result
Your password changes straight away. Your Google account, once linked, shows as connected and can be used on the sign-in page.
05 · Troubleshooting
It rejects my new password
The rules are the same as at sign-up, and they are reported one at a time. Use something with a capital, a lowercase letter and a number.
It rejects my current password
If you have only ever signed in with Google, you may not have a password at all. Use Forgot password? on the sign-in page to set one.
