Use **Change password** when you need to update your own account password.

This is helpful when you want to keep your account secure, refresh an older password, or update access on a shared device.

## Open Change password

1. Click your profile picture in the top-right app area.
2. Click the **Change password** tab.

## Enter your password details

1. Enter your current password in **Old Password**.
2. Enter your new password in **New password**.
3. Enter the new password again in **Confirm new password**.

Use the eye icon in a password field if you need to check what you typed.

## Follow the password rules

Your new password must:

- have at least 8 characters
- include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers
- include a special character, such as **!**, **@**, **#**, **$**, **%**, **^**, or **\***

## Save the new password

1. Click **Save**.
2. Wait for the password change to finish.
3. Sign in again if Zira asks you to.

If the two new password fields do not match, correct them and click **Save** again.
