Your new password must meet the following requirements:

  • Have between 12 and 128 characters
  • At least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
  • At least one lowercase letter (a-z)
  • At least one digit (0-9)
  • At least one special character (for example "!", "$", "%")

If your password does not meet these requirements, an error message will appear below the password field.

After successfully changing your password, you will be redirected to the home page.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a time-based code from an authenticator app in addition to your password.

Once enabled, you will need to enter a code from your authenticator app each time you log in.

Disabling 2FA

In the "2-Factor authentication" section, click Disable 2FA. 2FA will be disabled immediately and you will no longer need to enter a code when logging in.

⚠️ Warning: Disabling 2FA significantly reduces the security of your account. Your account will then only be protected by your password.
