Account and Security
The Account section groups credentials, language, and active authentication mechanisms.
WordPress validates the email address and prevents reuse by another account. Changes can affect password recovery and administrative notifications.
Use Set New Password to generate or enter a replacement. WordPress's password-strength and confirmation behavior remains in effect.
Choose a personal administration language or inherit the site default. Only installed languages are accepted.
The Sessions metabox can terminate other authenticated sessions while retaining the current one.
When WordPress supports application passwords for the selected account, the Account section provides their standard creation and revocation interface.
- Verify the selected user before changing credentials.
- Use unique, lengthy passwords and multi-factor authentication where available.
- Revoke sessions and application passwords that are no longer needed.
- Do not paste passwords into issue reports, logs, or screenshots.
