Step 3 - Type in your new password in both fields, then click the Save button. Your password will need a strength greater than 50 to be accepted. Using upper case letters, numbers, symbols and having a longer password length will all increase the strength. The Password Generator button on this page will generate a random password, which you can use if you would like.
