Password Requirements

Your new password must:

• ✅ Be different from your current password
• ✅ Not be a commonly used password

Recommendations:

• Mix uppercase and lowercase letters
• Include numbers
• Add special characters (!@#$%^&*)
• Avoid personal information (birthdays, names)
• Use a unique password not used on other sites

Security Best Practices

• ✅ Change your password regularly (every 90 days recommended)
• ✅ Use a strong, unique password for TextFlow
• ✅ Don’t reuse passwords from other services
• ✅ Use a password manager to generate and store complex passwords
• ✅ Never share your password with anyone, including administrators

Troubleshooting

”Current password is incorrect”

Cause: You entered the wrong current password

Solution:

1. Double-check your current password (case-sensitive)
2. If you don’t remember it, use Password Reset instead

”New passwords don’t match”

Cause: The two password fields don’t match exactly

Solution:

• Carefully re-type your new password in both fields
• Check for typos, extra spaces, or case differences

”Password must be at least 8 characters long”

Cause: Your new password is too short

Solution:

• Enter a password with 8 or more characters
• Consider using a passphrase (e.g., “CoffeeTime2024!”)

Forgot Your Password?

If you don’t remember your current password, you’ll need to use the password reset process instead:

1. Log out of TextFlow
2. Go to the login page
3. Click “Forgot your password?”
4. Follow the Password Reset guide
