Every BEHCA account has its own password — **including** accounts created with Google or Apple sign-in. So even if you usually tap "Sign in with Google," you can set and use a BEHCA password too.

You only need the **Forgot password** flow if you can't log in. If you're already signed in, change your password from Account Settings.

## On the web

1. Sign in and open **Account Settings** (click your initials or avatar, top-right).
2. Under **Change Password**, click the **Change Password** button. This reveals two fields: **New Password** and **Confirm New Password**.
3. Enter your new password and confirm it.
4. Click **Update Password**.

You stay signed in on this device. You may be signed out of other devices for security — just sign in there with the new password.

## On mobile

1. Open the **Account** settings screen.
2. Tap **Change Password** to open the change-password screen.
3. Enter your current and new passwords.
4. Save.

## Password requirements

BEHCA passwords must:

- Be at least **8 characters**.
- Be **strong enough** to pass the on-screen strength meter — combine upper/lowercase letters, numbers, and a special character. The **Update Password** button stays disabled until your password is strong enough.

Tips for a good password:

- Longer is stronger.
- Don't reuse a password from another site.
- A password manager (Bitwarden, Google Password Manager, etc.) can generate and remember one for you.

## First-time forced password change

If you were invited to BEHCA with a temporary password, you'll be asked to set your own the first time you log in. This is normal.

## Common questions

- **I signed up with Google or Apple — can I still set a BEHCA password?** — Yes. Set one under **Change Password** in Account Settings. After that you can sign in with social login **or** email and password.
- **I forgot my current password.** — Don't try to change it from inside the app; sign out and use **Forgot your password?** on the login page.
- **My password reset link expired.** — Request another one. The links are short-lived for security.
- **Will changing my password sign me out of my phone?** — It might. If it does, just sign back in with the new password.
