How to Change your Email Password?

In today’s very busy world of computerized everything, we often forget to keep track of small and simple things that can actually prove very important. One such thing is our email password. If you’re one of the people who uses the same password for each and every one of their online accounts, there’s a serious risk of being hacked and falling victim to all sorts of cybercriminals.

In addition, there can be other reasons for you to want to change your email password. For instance, your love interest may have changed and their birthday is no longer an appropriate password. Or you may have had enough of the old one and have come up with a much cleverer alternative. Or perhaps you’re smart and you’re doing it for safety reasons, which is also a great idea.
