There are many reasons why you'd want to change your Microsoft 365 password including for security reasons or if your company or school requires it. This wikiHow will teach you how to change your business or school account's Microsoft 365 password, which will also change the password you use to log in to your Outlook 365. However, if you have a personal account, these steps won't work, and you'll need to submit a password change request.
Steps
-
1Go to https://www.office.com/signin. You can use any web browser to change your Microsoft (also known as Office) 365 password.
- Sign in with your company or school's info, like your school email, to access the business account.
- If you log in to a personal account, you won't see the options listed here.
-
2Click . You'll see this gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
