You can change your PaperSurvey password at any time from your account settings.

## How to change your password

1. Go to **Settings** and open the **Security** page
2. Find the **Update Password** section
3. Enter your current password
4. Enter your new password
5. Confirm the new password
6. Click **Update**

For your protection, changing your password signs you out of any other devices where you are logged in.

## Password requirements

Choose a strong password that is:
- At least 8 characters long
- Not easily guessable
- Not reused from another service

New passwords are also checked against known data breaches. If a password has appeared in a breach, it will be rejected and you will need to choose a different one. See [Why was my password rejected?](/help/security/article/why-was-my-password-rejected.md) for details. A short sentence that is easy for you to remember works well.

## Forgot your password?

If you cannot remember your current password, use the **Forgot Password** link on the login page. You will receive an email with a link to reset your password.

The reset link expires after 60 minutes, so use it promptly after receiving the email. If the link has expired, request a new one.

## Using passkeys instead

If you prefer not to manage passwords, consider setting up a passkey for passwordless login. See [Managing Passkeys](/help/account-settings/article/managing-passkeys.md) for details. If you have disabled password login in favor of passkeys, the Update Password section is hidden from the Security page.
