Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change my passwords?

Change immediately if compromised. Otherwise, focus on using unique strong passwords rather than frequent changes.

Use 'Forgot Password' on the login page. You'll receive a reset link via email or SMS.

Should I use the same password everywhere?

Never! Use unique passwords for each account. A password manager makes this easy.
