Changing Your Password

Keep your account secure by using a strong password and updating it periodically. Dear makes it easy to change your password whenever needed.

How to Change Your Password

  1. Click your avatar in the top-right corner of the header

  2. Select Profile from the menu

  3. Click on the Security tab

  4. Fill in the password fields:

    • New Password - Enter your new password

    • Confirm Password - Re-enter the new password to confirm

    • Current Password - Enter your existing password for verification

  5. Click Save

You’ll see a confirmation that your password has been updated.

Password Requirements

Your new password should be:

  • At least 8 characters long

  • Different from common passwords

  • Unique to your Dear account

Tips for a strong password:

  • Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols

  • Avoid personal information (names, birthdays)

  • Consider using a password manager

  • Don’t reuse passwords from other sites

Current Password Required

For security, you must enter your current password whenever changing to a new one. This prevents unauthorised changes if someone gains temporary access to your device.

If you’ve forgotten your current password, you’ll need to reset it instead.

After Changing Your Password

Once your password is changed:

  • Your current session remains active

  • You’ll use the new password for future logins

  • Any other devices will need the new password

Google Sign-In Users

If you signed up using Google Sign-In, you may not have a Dear password set. In this case:

  • You can continue signing in with Google

  • Or set a password to enable email/password login as an alternative

To set a password for the first time, use the password fields in your Security settings.
