# Password

> Change your password or recover access to your account.

Surnex accounts use email and password, handled by Supabase Auth. Passwords must be at least **6 characters**.

## Changing your password

There's no change-password field in **Settings → Profile** — that page manages your name only. Use the password reset flow from the sign-in screen instead: request a reset link for your account email, follow it, and set a new password.

## Forgotten password

Same flow. Request a reset from the [sign-in page](/authentication), open the link sent to your email, and set a new password. You'll need access to the mailbox for the address you signed up with.

## Choosing a password

Six characters is the minimum the system enforces, not a recommendation. Your Surnex account can reach every organization you belong to — including client data if you work in an agency — so use a password manager and something long.

## Sessions

Your session persists across tabs and browser restarts. Sign out from the user menu in the sidebar.

## API keys are separate

Changing your password doesn't affect [API keys](/api-keys/list). Keys authenticate as the organization, not as you, and keep working after a password change — and after your account is removed from the organization entirely.

If you're changing your password because you think your account was compromised, [review the organization's API keys](/api-keys/list) too and revoke anything unfamiliar or unused.
