Change My Password
In the recent times, the Internet has become the largest source of information and it works both ways. It is the largest recipient of information and at the same time, the largest provider of information too. Some of that information, if leaked, can be fatal in the hands of cyber criminals such as hackers and black hats and so on. The custom of setting passwords is mostly common in e-mail identification directories. But, these days there are innumerable sites which encourage visitors to sign up for their newsletters, so that their information is not leaked or is not used as an open source. For instance auction or shopping websites such as ebay or Oxford online bookstore insist on buyers signing up before checking out.
The specific characterstic of setting up an account in web providers is the user anme and the password. A member can enjoy free email accounts or free webspace on the cyberworld. The whole point of the users setting up user names and passwords is so that only administrators can gain access to the account and the password is programmed to change after a period of time, so that there is no illegal attempt to access the account. This is one of the ways, I can ensure that only I am allowed to change my password.
The upside of electronic accounts is that they are free of charge. So, I can open as many accounts as I wish through different service providers. These days it is necessary to provide email id and passwords for not only service providers but also for social networking sites too. The users assign different passwords to different accounts and sooner or later, they are bound to lose it or forget them. So in situations like these, the option of “change my password” is a great relief. Different web service providers have different ways of recovering passwords. Some of them are listed as follows:
