  2. Click the Security tab above your name.
  3. Click Update next to "Password."
  4. Confirm your current password, enter your new password twice, and click Change Password.

Here's how to change your security questions:

  3. Click Update under "Security questions."
  4. From the "Security question 1" and "Security question 2" dropdown menus, select a question and type its answer.
  5. Click Save.

We recommend you change your password and security questions from time to time.
