Changing your Google Workspace password is done through your Google account settings. ## Change Your Password 1. Go to [myaccount.google.com](https://myaccount.google.com). 2. Sign in with your current email and password. 3. Click **Security** in the left sidebar. 4. Under "How you sign in to Google," click **Password**. 5. You may need to re-enter your current password. 6. Enter your new password and confirm it. 7. Click **Change Password**. ## After Changing You will be signed out of most devices. You need to sign back in with the new password on: Your phone (Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar apps). Desktop email clients (Outlook, Apple Mail) if configured. Chrome browser if signed in. Any other apps connected to your Google account. ## Password Tips Use a password at least 12 characters long. Do not reuse passwords from other accounts. Use a password manager to generate and store strong passwords. Enable 2-Step Verification (MFA) if you have not already. ## If You Forgot Your Password 1. Go to the Google sign-in page. 2. Enter your email and click **Next**. 3. Click **Forgot password**. 4. Google will try to verify your identity using your recovery phone, recovery email, or authenticator app. 5. Create a new password once verified. If you cannot recover access through self-service, contact your Google Workspace administrator (your IT provider) to reset the password for you. ## If Your Organization Manages Passwords Your Google Workspace admin may enforce password policies including minimum length, complexity requirements, and expiration periods. If your password does not meet the policy, you will be prompted to choose a stronger one.
