How do I change my password?

Change your password regularly or whenever you think it's been compromised.

How to do it

1. Open Settings (/dashboard/settings)
2. Find the "Password" section
3. Enter your current password
4. Enter your new password
5. Confirm the new password (second field)
6. Click "Save"

Requirements

Your new password must:

• Be at least 12 characters long
• Contain 1 uppercase letter (A-Z)
• Contain 1 lowercase letter (a-z)
• Contain 1 digit (0-9)

Example: MyNewPw2026

After the change

• You get a confirmation email (security notification)
• Your current session stays active (no need to re-login)
• If you're logged in on other devices, you're logged out there (security)

Tips for a secure password

• Longer is better than more complex
• Use a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, iCloud)
• Don't reuse — your LACOP password only for LACOP
• Passphrase instead of password: Cat!Dances2026 is very secure

What if I forgot my password?

Then don't change in settings — use "Forgot password?" on the login page. See forgot password.

Password compromised?

If you think your password was leaked (e.g. via Haveibeenpwned):

1. Change immediately in settings
2. Enable 2FA if not yet (see enable 2FA)
3. Check audit log for suspicious logins
