Common questions
I can’t find the option to change my password
Then you probably signed in with Google. Check the Security tab — it will say your account is connected to Google.
Can I switch from Google to email and password?
No, the sign-in method can’t be changed. You would have to create a new account with an email address.
How strong should my password be?
Use one you don’t use anywhere else. A password manager makes that painless.
Do I have to sign in again afterward?
No, you stay signed in.
