What This Means for You
- You will be prompted to reset your password at login when your update window begins.
- The process typically takes one to two minutes.
- You won't lose access to your account.
- No changes will happen without an on-screen prompt.
If you are not prompted, there is nothing you need to do.
Why IPFS is Making This Change
Stronger passwords help protect your data and ensure IPFS continues to meet evolving security standards. This update is part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding client information and maintaining a secure platform you can trust.
Quick Reminder:
No action is required until IPFS prompts you to update your password at login.
Helpful Tips Before Your Reset
A little prep can make your reset even easier:
Locate Your Username Now
You'll need it during your password update. Your username can be found in your Account Profile.
Be Mindful of Saved Login Settings
Some browsers auto-fill email addresses into the username field. Double-check that your username is entered correctly.
Wait for the Prompt
Please do not change your password until IPFS asks you to do so at login.
