# How to Change Your Password

You can reset a forgotten PaintScout password from the login page or change your current password from Your Profile settings. Both methods send a reset link to your email.

***

## How do I reset a forgotten password?

Follow these steps to reset your password from the login page:

1. Head over to the login page and look for the friendly **Don't remember your password?** button.
2. Enter your email address, and you'll receive a link from <support@paintscout.com> to create a brand-new password.

## How do I change my password while logged in?

If you're already logged in and want to change your password, follow these steps:

1. Click on the person icon located at the top right corner of your page and go to **Your Profile.**
2. Go to the **Profile** section and click the **Change Password** button. You'll receive an email from <support@paintscout.com> with a link that will help you reset your password.

***

## What if I didn't receive the password reset email?

Check your junk, spam, and promotional folders first. Password reset emails from <support@paintscout.com> sometimes get filtered there. If you still cannot find the email, try repeating the reset steps to trigger a new one.

If the problem persists, [reach out to our support team](mailto:support@paintscout.com) for assistance.

## Password Best Practices

1. Don't use your name, birthdate, or other easily guessable information. Randomly generated passwords are best.
2. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
3. Change your password periodically, especially if you suspect it may have been compromised.
4. Use a password manager instead of writing passwords down or saving them in documents.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/resources/frequently-asked-questions/how-to-change-your-password.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
