# How to change your username or password

Myhrtoolkit mandates a username of 8 characters or more. This guide shows how users, who are already logged in, can change their username or password.

It is often easier to use your email addresses for a username, but if you feel creative you will need to choose a name that has not been taken by someone else.

> ***Note*** – Our guide on [resetting user password](https://www.myhrtoolkit.com/support/how-to-guides/reset-user-password/) has instructions for if a password has been forgotten. Forgotten usernames can only be recovered by controllers in your organisation. Staff at myhrtoolkit are unable to reset or recover usernames or passwords.

### Quick summary

1. Login in to [myhrtoolkit](https://app.myhrtoolkit.com/user_portal/index.php) in the normal way.
2. From the Account menu button towards the top-right of the screen, click the Login details item.
