How to Change your E-mail Password (KonsoleH users)

Good Password Practices

It is good practice to change your email password regularly to prevent unauthorised access to your information.

Forgotten mail passwords can’t be recovered, however, they can be reset in konsoleH (option 1 below).

Use a phrase you can easily remember, but which would be difficult for someone else to guess. We suggest using phrases such as 1-LOVE-my-dog which are highly secure, according to strength testing sites such as How Strong is my Password. It includes a number, lower and upper case letters and symbols.
