It only takes a minute to update your password, and it’s a good habit to do this every few months — especially if you use X for business or brand communication.

Here’s how to change your password step by step:

1. Log In to Your X Account
Go to x.com and sign in with your username and current password.

2. Open the Settings Menu
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then choose Settings and privacy from the dropdown menu.

3. Select “Your Account”
In the left sidebar, click Your account, then choose Change your password.

4. Enter Your Current Password
Type your existing password to confirm your identity.

5. Create a New Password
Choose a strong new password — ideally at least 12 characters long with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using names, birthdays, or reused passwords.

6. Confirm and Save
Re-enter the new password and click Save. You’ll get a confirmation message once the change is complete.

Pro Tips for Security:

  • Use a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden to store complex passwords.

  • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.

  • Log out of other devices after updating your password.

It’s a quick task that can save you a major headache later. A few clicks today can protect your account and personal data for months to come.
