# Changing passwords as a Nexudus admin

Most admin accounts have access to important and sensitive information. To reduce the risk of unauthorized access, **admins should change their passwords at least once a month**.

## Admin password minimum requirements

All admin passwords must meet these minimum requirements:

- Be **at least 8 characters**
- One or more **upper case letters**
- One or more **lower case letters**
- One or more **numbers**
- One or more **special characters** (! £ $ % ^ & \ - * #: @ ? > <)

## Admin password best practice

- **Never share your passwords** with anyone.
- **Don’t reuse passwords** from other tools or personal accounts.
- **Never save or store passwords in plain text** such as notes apps, documents, or clipboards.
- **Avoid predictable patterns** that others can easily guess, like names, birth dates, or common words.
- **Use a password manager** if your company provides one.

For additional security, we also strongly recommend [enforcing two-factor authentication](/v3/docs/enforcing-two-factor-authentication) in your space.

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.

If you use a password manager, save your new password there before moving to the next step.

1. Make sure **User must change their password the next time they log in** is toggled off.
2. Click the **Save Changes** button.

All set! Your new password will be enforced next time you log in as an admin.

If you haven't done so already, we also recommend [enabling two-factor authentication](/v3/docs/enabling-two-factor-authentication). It takes less than 5 minutes and adds an extra layer of security to your account.
