    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 — 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 — that's 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 — 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.
