Password after Google

If you created your Bulido account by clicking Sign in with Google (instead of the standard email-and-password sign-up), your account doesn't have its own password yet. Everything works fine, you just keep signing in with Google. But there are situations where it's worth adding a password.

In the dashboard, under Account → Security, you'll see the message: "Account was created via Google. You don't have a password set. You can add one any time.".

When to set a password

• You want another way to sign in. E.g. on a computer where you'd rather not be signed in to your Google account.
• You want to unlink the Google account. Bulido won't let you remove the last sign-in method. Without a password set first, you can't unlink Google. The tooltip says: "Set a password to unlink this account.".
• Security. A second sign-in mechanism is a backup if anything ever goes wrong with your Google account.

How to set a password

1. Open Account → Security.
2. Click the Set password button (instead of Change password, since you don't have a current one).
3. Enter New password and Repeat new password.
4. Confirm. Bulido shows "Password changed.".

Password requirements are the same as when changing an existing one: minimum 8 characters, at least one digit, at least one uppercase letter. Details in Change your Bulido password.

After setting the password

You can now sign in two ways: via Google or via email + password. Both lead to the same account.

You can also unlink the Google account if you want to rely on the password alone (see Link a Google account to your existing account).
