discuss When was the last time you changed your Google account password?

And do you have me beat?



Going on 12 years with the same password!

You can access this page by clicking your avatar in GMail, clicking "Manage your Google Account", then navigating to "Security".

I'm not too concerned about this account, not only because it has nothing too sensitive in it, but it also has 2FA enabled.

Since I have to use this email at a public library in an hour, I decided to update it, and I'll change it again after I'm done and back home.



So, you probably have me beat now.

Since I created my Google account, I have only changed my password once. I did this because I realized that the password I used initially was too simple and can be easily guessed. That was a few years ago.

I just changed mine back to the original password. But, that broke my 12-year streak with the same password.

It haven't been too long I changed my own password. August 2025 will make it 3 years I last changed mine.

Looks like I held the ROFLMAO record so far. Now, by you with 3 years.

Congrats on the insecurity!

Did you actually break the 12 year streak since you still have the same old password?

...kind of... but kind of not?

It reset the last changed date, but, it was only about an hour gap.

I use multiple Google accounts and I have not changed password for most of my accounts since I created them. However, I changed password for my account that I use for financial services few months ago.

Congratulations to us

I haven't had any good reason to change the password recently, if not I would have done it. With 2FA active on the account, it's why I'm relaxed too.

This gives me ease in keeping the same password too.

It was on my Facebook I had an attempted breach but my 2FA stopped it. I had to go and change the password immediately. Since then, it haven't happened again.

I changed my Gmail password this month. It's around the first week of February if I remembered it correctly. My Smartphone's screen was crushed by a tricycle. I needed to login my mail to another device which had me to change the password after I fixed the phone's screen which cost me more than $250.

I don't change account passwords at all except I forget it along the line. My main Google account has the same password for two and a half years now. And I don't see anything that would trigger me to change the password.
