Manage your Jamdesk password, including how to change it or reset it if you forget.

## Changing Your Password

If you know your current password:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to User Settings">
    Click your avatar in the sidebar and select **User Settings**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Click Change Password">
    In the **Account Information** card, click **Change Password**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Fill in the form">
    A modal opens with three fields:

    1. **Current Password**
    2. **New Password**
    3. **Confirm New Password**

    Use the eye icon on each field to toggle password visibility.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Submit">
    Click **Change Password** to save. You'll see a success message and the modal closes automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
The Change Password button only appears if you signed up with email and password. If you signed up with Google or GitHub, see [OAuth Accounts](#oauth-accounts) below.
</Note>

## Resetting a Forgotten Password

If you can't remember your password:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to login">
    Visit [dashboard.jamdesk.com](https://dashboard.jamdesk.com) and click **Sign In**.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Click Forgot Password">
    Select the **Forgot password?** link below the password field.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Enter your email">
    Enter the email address associated with your account. If you already typed it on the sign-in form, it will be pre-filled.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Check your inbox">
    Click **Send reset email**. Check your inbox for a password reset link and follow the instructions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
Password reset links expire after 1 hour. Request a new one if yours has expired.
</Note>

## Password Requirements

Your password must be at least **6 characters** long.

## OAuth Accounts

If you signed up with Google or GitHub only, you won't have a Jamdesk password and the **Change Password** button won't appear in your account settings.

To sign in with a password in addition to OAuth, use the **Forgot password?** flow on the login page to set one for your email address.
