email password change

To change an email password, change it with the email provider first, then sign in again where that account is used.

• Outlook.com / Microsoft account: Sign in at https://account.microsoft.com, go to Security, select Change Password, enter the new password, and select Save.
• Work or school account: Sign in at https://myaccount.microsoft.com/, select Change Password, enter the old password, create the new password, and select Submit.
• Outlook Web App for Exchange Server 2013/2010: Sign in to Outlook Web App, then select Settings > Change password and follow the prompts.
• Third-party email accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, Apple, or Xfinity: change the password on that provider’s website or contact the email administrator/help desk.

After the password is changed, Outlook apps will prompt for the updated password. If the account is also configured on a phone, tablet, or another mail app, update the password there as well.

Change the password when:

• someone may have gained access to the account
• the provider sent a password reset link
• the password was forgotten
