# 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](/helpcenter/account/change-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](/helpcenter/account/link-google)).
