Your new password must meet the following requirements:

- 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.
