# Change Password

Regularly updating your password helps protect your Contentstack account from unauthorized access. It is recommended to choose a strong, unique password that is not reused across other platforms.

Contentstack allows users to update their password directly from their profile settings.

**Note:** Changing your password signs you out of all sessions across browsers, tabs, and devices.

    **Note:** Ensure the new password meets your organization’s [password policy](/docs/administration/security-configuration#password-policies).
    
5.  Click **Update** to apply the new password.

Use the new credentials for your next login.

**Tip**: For security, avoid reusing old passwords and consider enabling [Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)](/docs/administration/multi-factor-authentication) for an extra layer of protection.

**Additional Resource:** If you do not remember your password, refer to the [Forgot (Reset) Password](/docs/administration/forgot-reset-password) document for more information.
