## Password Update Steps

Follow these instructions to modify your current login credentials.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Password Settings">
    Log in to the [Billing Panel](https://freakhosting.com/clientarea/clientarea.php). Click on your name in the top right corner and navigate to the [Change Password](https://freakhosting.com/clientarea/user/password) section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Current Identity">
    Enter your current password in the **Existing Password** field to authorize the change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a New Password">
    Enter your new password in the **New Password** field, then re-enter it in **Confirm New Password**. A strength meter shows how strong it is, and the **Generate Password** button can create a strong one for you. Aim for a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save Changes">
    Click **Save Changes** to apply the update (or **Cancel** to discard it). You can keep using the panel with your new password right away.

## Security Recommendations

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Using Password Managers">
    We strongly advise using a dedicated password manager (such as Bitwarden or 1Password) to generate and store high-entropy passwords. This eliminates the need to remember complex strings while ensuring each of your services has a unique key.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Ending Your Session">
    Upon completing your administrative tasks, always use the **Logout** button found in the account dropdown menu. This is especially critical if you are accessing your billing information from a shared or public computer.

  ### Secure Your Entire Identity

  While changing your password is an excellent start, using a unique password for every service and keeping your recovery email up to date are the best ways to keep your account safe.
