# Changing password

You change your password under **Account** in the dashboard, in the **Security** section. It's also where you **set** a password if you signed up via Google and don't have one yet (see [Set a password after Google sign-in](/helpcenter/account/set-password-after-google)).

## Step by step

1. Open **Account** in the top right of the dashboard (user icon → **Account**).
2. Scroll down to the **Security** section.
3. Click **Change password**. A form opens with three fields:
   - **Current password**: to confirm it's really you.
   - **New password**: the new value.
   - **Repeat new password**: again, to confirm.
4. Confirm. Bulido shows *"Password changed."*

Bulido shows a strength indicator next to the field: **Weak**, **Medium**, **Strong**. Stronger means more secure.

## New-password requirements

Bulido checks for:

- **Minimum 8 characters** (message: *"Password must be at least 8 characters."*).
- **At least one digit** (message: *"Password must contain at least one digit."*).
- **At least one uppercase letter** (message: *"Password must contain at least one uppercase letter."*).
- **New ≠ current** (message: *"New value must differ from the current one."*).
- **Both fields identical** (message: *"Passwords don't match."*).

If any condition fails, Bulido shows the specific error and doesn't save the change.

## What if I forgot my current password

If you can't remember the current password and can't sign in, use **Forgot password?** on the sign-in page. Bulido emails a link to set a new password. You don't need to know the old one.
