Zoom holds your meetings, recordings and contacts, and a hijacked account can be used to crash calls or impersonate you to colleagues. Keeping it secure starts with a strong password and a couple of meeting habits. Our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Zoom password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep your account and your calls protected.
Change your password in your profile
- Sign in at zoom.us and open Profile.
- Find the Sign In Password section and click Edit.
- Enter your current password, then the new one twice.
- Save your changes.
If you sign in with Google, Facebook or single sign-on, Zoom has no separate password — manage your login through that provider instead.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in page click Forgot password? and enter your email. Zoom sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Because the reset goes to your inbox, keeping your email account secure is what ultimately protects your Zoom login.
Protect your meetings too
Account security and meeting security go together. Keep require a passcode and the waiting room turned on so uninvited guests cannot drop into your calls, and never post meeting links publicly. For the account itself, enable two-factor authentication in settings to block anyone who gets hold of your password.
A stolen Zoom account is not just your problem — it can be used to join or disrupt your team’s private meetings. A unique password and 2FA protect everyone who trusts a call invite from you.
Secure it with a unique password
Give Zoom a password you use nowhere else, created with our password generator, and store it in a password manager. With two-factor authentication switched on as well, a leaked password alone cannot let a stranger into your account or your meetings.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my Zoom password if I forgot it?
On the sign-in page click “Forgot password?”, enter your email, and follow the reset link Zoom sends. You need access to that email account to complete the reset.
Why is there no password option in my Zoom profile?
If you signed up with Google, Facebook or single sign-on, Zoom does not store a separate password. Change it with that provider instead, since that is how you actually sign in.
How do I keep my Zoom meetings secure?
Require a passcode to join, keep the waiting room on, and avoid posting meeting links publicly. Securing the account with a unique password and two-factor authentication protects your meetings as well.
