How to Change Email Password

Changing your email password regularly can help protect your account from hackers and other attempts to steal personal data. When changing your password, you should come up with a new, strong password that is different from the passwords of other online accounts, with at least 8 characters including letters, numbers and special characters. To make your password even harder to guess, you shouldn't make it contain personal information that you often share with others, such as your date of birth, phone number, or the name of your pet or child.
