You can change your password directly from your profile settings if you are an internal user. Follow these steps:

  2. In the Change Password section, enter your previous password in the Previous password field.
  3. Enter your new password in the New password field. Make sure your new password meets the required criteria (see password requirements displayed below the field).
  4. Confirm your new password by entering it again in the Confirm new password field.
  5. Click Save or the relevant button to apply your changes.
