Changing Your Password

Updated 2 July 2026

Change your WordPress password under Users > Profile. Use a long, unique password or a password manager.

If you cannot log in, recovery options include the WordPress reset link, a database reset, or asking your host for help.

If you are locked out

  • Use the "Lost your password?" link on the login page.
  • Reset via phpMyAdmin by generating a new hash (last resort).
  • Ask your host to reset credentials via control panel.

Store updated credentials in the BugShield Vault so developers can access your site securely.
