Setting or changing your password
If you did not set a password when you created your Groups.io account and later decide to set one, or if you want to change an existing password:
- Display your account settings and select Login (if that page is not displayed already).
- In the Login panel at the top of the page, in the New Password field, enter your new password. It must be at least 6 characters long.
- Click or tap Set Password (if you are setting a password for your account) or Change Password (if you are changing an existing password).
Tip: The main advantage of setting a password for your Groups.io account is so you do not have to deal with your login expiring in 30 days (see Logging in without setting a password).
Deleting your password
If you have a Groups.io password and later decide you no longer want to use a password to log in to Groups.io, you can delete your password:
- Display your account settings and select Login (if that page is not displayed already).
- In the Login panel at the top of the page, under the New Password field, click or tap Delete Password.
Groups.io deletes the password and displays a banner at the top of the page stating that your password has been deleted.
Note: It is not possible to delete your password if two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled in your Groups.io account.
