# Changing your password

Tablion users are able to change their password after signing up. Users may wish to change their password:

* If it is weaker than required by their organisation
* When compromise is suspected
* After a data breach
* If it has been shared or leaked

### How to change your password

1. Select 'My Account' from your username dropdown.
