    Click on the Save icon to change your password.

    Step 4

    You need a memorable password, which is impossible for others to guess; you should not use certain characters: see our advice on how to do this.


    After you have changed your password: REMEMBER IT! But do not write it down.

  4. When your password has been successfully changed, you will be returned to the logout window.
