How to Change Your Password on Mac
70How to Change Your Password on Mac
Eventually, most of us need to change the passwords to our computers. Maybe you shared it with a trusted friend or family member who needed to access local data, or you might not trust that stranger with the wandering eyes at the coffee shop.
Note: Your login password is the password you enter to unlock your Mac when you turn it on or wake it from sleep. It is not your Apple ID password, which provides access to the iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, iCloud, and other Apple services.
If youβre a Mac user, youβll know just how important your password is. Not only does it give you access to your Mac and all the information you store on it, but it also enables you to install and modify software programs and verify any changes that require an extra level of security.
You probably type your password into your login screen multiple times a day. However, if that password is ever compromised and needs replacing or you decide to change it (as you should regularly), there are a few important steps to remember.
