Changing Your Password

Regularly updating your password helps keep your account secure. We recommend changing your password every few months and whenever you suspect it may have been compromised.

When to change your password

Consider changing your password if:

  • It's been more than three months since your last change

  • You've shared it with someone temporarily

  • You've used it on a public or shared computer

  • You received a suspicious sign-in notification

  • You're using the same password elsewhere

How to change your password

  • Go to Settings from the main menu

  • Click the Security tab

  • Find the Password section

  • Click Change Password

  • Enter your current password

  • Enter your new password

  • Confirm your new password

  • Click Update Password

You'll see a confirmation message when your password has been updated.

Creating a strong password

A strong password protects your business data. Follow these guidelines:

Do

  • Use at least 12 characters — longer is stronger

  • Mix character types — combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols

  • Make it memorable — use a passphrase you can remember

  • Use a password manager — to generate and store complex passwords

Don't

  • Avoid personal information — no birthdays, names, or business names

  • Skip common words — "password", "123456", or "qwerty" are easily guessed

  • Don't reuse passwords — each account should have its own password

  • Avoid patterns — sequential numbers or keyboard patterns are weak

Example of a strong password

Instead of: Tourism2024!

Try: purple-koala-surfs-reef42

Passphrases like this are both strong and memorable.

If you've forgotten your password

If you can't sign in because you've forgotten your password:

  • Go to the Launchpad sign-in page

  • Click Forgot Password?

  • Enter your email address

  • Click Send Reset Link

  • Check your email for the reset link

  • Click the link and create a new password

The reset link expires after 24 hours. Request a new one if needed.

Password requirements

Your new password must meet these requirements:

  • At least 8 characters long

  • Contains at least one uppercase letter

  • Contains at least one lowercase letter

  • Contains at least one number

  • Different from your previous passwords

What happens after changing your password

After updating your password:

  • You'll remain signed in on your current device

  • You may be signed out of other devices

  • Your new password takes effect immediately

  • You'll receive an email confirming the change

If you didn't make this change, contact support immediately.

Additional security measures

For extra protection, combine a strong password with:

  • Two-factor authentication — adds a second verification step

  • Regular password changes — update every 3-6 months

  • Unique passwords — don't reuse across services

Troubleshooting

New password not accepted

If your new password is rejected:

  • Check it meets all requirements listed above

  • Ensure the passwords match in both fields

  • Try a longer password with more variety

  • Clear your browser cache and try again

Didn't receive the reset email

If you requested a password reset but didn't get the email:

  • Check your spam or junk folder

  • Ensure you entered the correct email address

  • Wait a few minutes — emails can be delayed

  • Try requesting a new reset link

  • Contact support if issues persist


A strong password is your first line of defence — choose wisely and change regularly.
