Change password
This dialog lets you change your Sequentia account password, or set a password if you sign in only with an external provider (for example Google) and do not yet have an email/password login.
Prerequisites
- You must be signed in to Sequentia.
- Access the My Account page via the user menu.
- No workspace permission is required: the action applies to your account only.
- For the classic “change” flow: your account already has an email/password login.
- For the “set password” flow: your account uses at least one external provider and no email password yet (for example Google only).
Open the dialog
- Open the user menu (avatar / account).
- Click My Account.
- On the profile card, click the red row:
- Change Password if an email password already exists;
- Set a password if the account has only external providers.
- The dialog opens.
Two modes depending on your account
| Situation | Dialog title | Current password field | “Forgot password” link | Action button |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account with email password | Confirm Current Password | Yes | Yes | Reset Password |
| External providers only | Set a password | No | No | Confirm |
The mode is determined by how you sign in: whether an email password is already registered.
Form fields
Current password (change mode only)
- Label: Current Password
- Placeholder: Enter your current password
- Hidden by default; the eye icon toggles visibility.
- Required to re-authenticate before the update.
New password
Shared fields:
| Field | Label |
|---|---|
| New password | Password |
| Confirmation | Confirm Password |
Each field also has an eye icon to show or hide the value.
Security criteria
The action button stays disabled until every condition is met. A checkmark turns green when a criterion is satisfied:
| Criterion (displayed label) | Rule |
|---|---|
| Password must be at least 8 characters long | Length ≥ 8 |
| Password must contain at least one number | At least one digit |
| Password must contain at least one special character | At least one special character (e.g. ! @ # $ % ^ & *) |
| Passwords match | Both fields are identical and non-empty |
Forgot password
Visible only in change mode (account with email password).
- Link label: Forgot password? Sign out and reset password
- On click: the dialog closes, you are signed out, then redirected to the password reset page.
warning
There is no confirmation before sign-out. Save your work before using this link.
Save or close
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Reset Password (change mode) | Verifies the current password, updates the password, success message, closes the dialog. |
| Confirm (set mode) | Links an email password to the account, success message, closes the dialog. |
| Close (X) | Closes without changing the password. |
| Help (?) | Opens contextual help for this dialog. |
While processing, a loading state prevents double submission.
Messages shown
| Result | Message |
|---|---|
| Success | Your password has been changed successfully |
| Wrong current password | Invalid password |
| Other error | An error occurred while changing your password |
On failure, the dialog stays open so you can correct the input.
What this dialog does not do
- Edit your profile (name, photo, language, theme): Edit a user dialog from My Account.
- Reset a password while signed out: dedicated page after sign-out, not this dialog.
- Change the account email address.
- Manage workspace member roles or permissions.
- Set another user’s password: limited to the signed-in account.
In-app help
In the dialog header, the help icon opens contextual help. Help title: Help - Change password.
To confirm with product
- “Reset Password” button label: the menu entry says Change Password, but the submit button uses Reset Password. Confirm whether Save or Change would be clearer.
- Account with email vs external providers: the interface relies on the list of sign-in methods registered. Confirm expected behavior if these details diverge.
- Current password validation: the field expects at least 6 characters in the interface, but the button only enforces the new password criteria. An empty or short current password can be submitted and fail (Invalid password). Confirm whether client-side validation is desired.
- Creating a password on an OAuth-only account: confirm the product message for users (email verification, future email + password sign-in, etc.).
- Account with no sign-in methods listed: change mode with a current-password field may appear. Confirm whether this case can occur and which flow to show.
