When to use it
After a phishing scare, Ritu changes her mail password. She has forgotten the old one, so she confirms the change with the code from the XgenPlus app on her phone.
Good to know
- A password can be up to 20 characters long.
- The new password must follow your organisation's rules, usually a capital letter, a digit and a special character.
- After changing your mail password, update it in any mail app that uses it, or better, give those apps an app password.
- The Secure Folder password is separate from your sign-in password.
Common questions
I forgot my current password but I'm signed in. Can I still change it?
Yes, if you have the XgenPlus mobile app. Choose TOTP / Web Login and enter the code from the app's Web Login screen instead.
Why is Change Password missing from my Settings?
Your administrator has turned off password changes for your domain or account. Ask them to change it for you.
