Change your password

Changing your password signs you out on every other device, and keeps you signed in on this one. You need the password you have now: if you've forgotten it, reset it from your recovery email instead.

Change it

1. Select your name at the foot of the sidebar, or More on a phone, then Settings, then Account.
2. Next to Change your password, select Change.
3. Type your Current password, then the new one in New password and New password again.
4. Select Change password.

5. Clova then shows a new recovery code. Select I have written it down to close it.

Pick a new one

Use at least 10 characters. There are no rules about symbols, digits or capitals: a few ordinary words in a row are easier to remember than a short password full of symbols, and harder to guess. Clova won't take:

• a password that has turned up in a breach of another site;
• one with your username in it;
• the one you already have.

Good to know

Tokens and apps keep working

A new password doesn't stop your personal access tokens or connected apps. Revoke any you don't recognize.

Your recovery email hears about it

If you have a confirmed recovery email, Clova writes to it to say your password was changed.

How Clova checks for breaches

It asks Have I Been Pwned with the first five characters of a hash of the new password, never the password itself.

No password to change

An account that signs in with Google or Apple has none here, and neither does one made with a passkey.
