1. Go to Account Settings
2. Find the "Password" section
3. Enter your current password
4. Enter your new password
5. Confirm your new password
6. Click "Update Account" or "Change Password"

Password Requirements

Your password must meet these requirements:

• Be at least 8 characters long (longer is better)
• Include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters
• Not be easily guessable (avoid common words, your name, etc.)
• Be unique to your LavishMade account (don't reuse passwords from other sites)

Password Reset Email

After requesting a password reset:

• You'll receive an email with reset instructions within a few minutes
• The email contains a secure link to reset your password
• The link expires after a certain period (typically 24 hours)
• You can only use the link once
• If the link expires, request a new password reset

If You Don't Receive the Reset Email

If you don't receive the password reset email:

• Check your spam or junk folder: Sometimes reset emails end up there
• Wait a few minutes: Emails can sometimes be delayed
• Check the email address: Make sure you entered the correct email address associated with your account
• Try again: Request a new password reset if needed
• Check email filters: Make sure emails from LavishMade aren't being blocked

Account Recovery

If you can't access your email or account:

• Make sure you're using the correct email address
• If you've changed your email, try your old email address
• Check if your account email was verified
• Contact support if you're unable to recover your account

Password Security Best Practices

• Use a strong, unique password: Don't reuse passwords from other sites
• Change your password regularly: Especially if you suspect it may have been compromised
• Don't share your password: Never give your password to anyone, including LavishMade staff
• Use a password manager: Consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords
• Enable two-factor authentication: If available, add an extra layer of security
• Be cautious of phishing: Never enter your password on sites that aren't LavishMade

After Resetting Your Password

Once you've successfully reset your password:

• You'll be automatically logged in with your new password
• You can use your new password to log in on all devices
• You may need to log in again on mobile apps or other devices
• Your old password will no longer work

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

• Reset link expired: Request a new password reset email
• Email not found: Make sure you're using the correct email address
• Password too weak: Use a stronger password that meets requirements
• Can't log in after reset: Make sure you're using your new password, not your old one
• Reset link not working: Make sure you're clicking the link directly from the email, not copying it
