What Happens After You Change Your Password?

Changing your Google Workspace password may affect other applications and devices connected to your account.

Gmail:

You may be asked to sign in again using your new password.

Google Drive:

Google Drive for desktop or mobile may request updated sign-in verification.

Google Calendar:

Your calendar may temporarily stop synchronizing in certain applications until you sign in again.

Mobile Devices:

Your iPhone, iPad, or Android device may request that you verify your Google account again.

Third-Party Applications:

Some applications connected to Google Workspace may need to be reauthorized.

Important: Changing your Google Workspace password does not necessarily change your computer’s Windows or Mac login password. If your organization uses Single Sign-On, account behavior may differ.

How to Create a Strong Password

A strong password helps prevent unauthorized access to your Google Workspace account.

Recommended Password Practices

Use a unique password for your Google Workspace account.
Prefer a long password or passphrase.
Avoid predictable patterns and commonly used passwords.
Do not include your name, company name, birthday, or easily guessed information.
Never reuse your Google Workspace password on personal websites.
Use a trusted password manager, such as Keeper Security, if provided by your organization.

Example of a Passphrase Format:

A long combination of unrelated words can be easier to remember while remaining difficult to guess.

Important: Do not use example passwords from articles or websites as your actual password.

Note: Your organization’s Google Workspace security policies may enforce additional password requirements.
