Password and sign-in

You can sign in to 42min with an email and password, or with Google or Microsoft. Password settings live on Profile → Security.

Email + password

  • Change your password on Profile → Security, where you'll confirm your current password and set a new one.
  • Forgot it? Use the reset link on the sign-in page and follow the email.
  • Passwords are stored hashed (never in plain text) on 42min's side.
Profile → Security. Enter your current password, then the new one twice (minimum 8 characters), and click Update Password.

Google / Microsoft sign-in

  • You can create or access your account with Google or Microsoft.
  • An account that only uses Google/Microsoft sign-in has no password, which is normal; there's nothing to change on the Security tab in that case. (Connecting Google or Microsoft for calendar access is a separate thing. See Google Calendar.)

How to do it

  1. Change password: Profile → Security → enter current + new password → save.
  2. Reset a forgotten password: the sign-in page → "forgot password" → check your email.
  3. Switch to Google/Microsoft sign-in: use the corresponding button on the sign-in page with the matching email.

Common pitfalls

  • "There's no change-password option." Your account is Google- or Microsoft-only, so it has no password by design; sign in with that provider.
  • Calendar vs sign-in. Connecting Google for your calendar (Availability → Calendar) doesn't change how you log in, and vice versa; they're independent.
  • Reset email not arriving. Check the address you used and your spam folder; reset links also expire, so request a fresh one if it's been a while.
