# Password

Your password is one of the factors that protects your Meridian account. Manage it from your account security settings.

## Change your password

Enter your current password and a new one. If you signed in within the last 10 minutes, the new one is enough. Changing your password **ends all your other sessions**: every other browser and CLI session is signed out, and MCP access and refresh tokens are revoked, so a leaked password can't keep an attacker in. Your current browser session stays active. The [CLI](/cli-sessions) and [MCP clients](/mcp-server) must sign in again.

If you signed up with [social login](/introduction-5) and never set a password, Meridian asks for a code from your authenticator app instead. Without 2FA, it asks you to sign in again, then brings you back to set one.

## Reset a forgotten password

From the sign-in screen, request a reset link. Meridian emails a time-limited link that lets you set a new password without being signed in. Completing a reset ends **all existing sessions**, including browser and CLI sessions, and revokes MCP access and refresh tokens. Sign in again in your browsers, the [CLI](/cli-sessions), and [MCP clients](/mcp-server). A reset also clears a [suspicious sign-in](/suspicious-login) lock, because it proves control of the same address the approval message went to.

<Note>
  A strong, unique password plus [2FA](/2-fa) (an authenticator app or a passkey) is the recommended setup, and may be required by your organization.
