# Change your email or password

> Set a new password from Settings, and how to change the email address on your account.

Your display name and password are managed under Settings. The email address you sign in
with is shown there too.

## Change your password

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings, then Account">
    Find the Password card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter a new password">
    Type the new password and confirm it. Passwords must be at least 8 characters.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Update password">
    The change takes effect immediately. You stay signed in on this device.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use a password manager and a long, unique password. For a second layer of protection,
  turn on [two-factor authentication](/account/two-factor-authentication).
</Tip>

### Forgot your password

If you cannot sign in, use the "Forgot password" link on the login screen to get a reset
email, rather than the Settings page.

## Change your display name

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings, then Account">
    Find the Profile card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit the display name and save">
    This is the name shown to other members of a shared budget.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Change your email address

The email address on your account is shown on the Account screen but is not editable inline
there. To change the email you sign in with, contact support and we will move your account
to the new address. See [Contact support](/troubleshooting/contact-support).

<Note>
  Changing your email does not change your data. Your budgets, transactions, and accounts
  stay exactly as they are.
