You have two main options. First, you can use a password manager to keep track of all of your passwords for you. You'll just need to remember one master password. Your second option is to keep all of your passwords written down on paper. If you go that route, make sure you're keeping your list of passwords somewhere secure where other people can't find them, like in a safe.

If one of your accounts was compromised, make sure your new password is nothing like the old one. Don't use that password on any of your accounts.

What do I do if I've forgotten my email password?

When you go to your login page, you should see an option that says, "I forgot my password." You'll be asked to answer your security questions before being able to change your password.

How do I find my email password to change it?

Community Answer

If you don't know the password, you'll have to follow the "Forgot Password" link to reset it (which will also accomplish the task of changing the password).
