How to Change Your WordPress Account Password (Quick Guide)

Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: WordPress 7.1

Use a long, unique password for your WordPress account; the admin login is the most attacked part of any WordPress site.

Steps

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard (https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin).
2. Open Users › Profile.
3. Under Account Management, click Set New Password. WordPress suggests a strong password; replace it with your own if you prefer.
4. Click Update Profile.

Other devices stay logged in until their session ends; click Log Out Everywhere Else on the same page if you think someone else has access.
