How to change your Slack password – Easy Steps

Slack has a neat login method called a magic link. When you try to log into a Slack workspace, you can enter your email and receive a magic link to log into your inbox. When you click the link, you are automatically signed into your Slack account and associated workspaces. You do not need to enter a password.

Change your Slack password

Slack accounts are password protected, but a magic link means you rarely have to sign in. Most people log into their email accounts, and Slack uses the magic link method by default, which means it’s easier to use. That said, your password still works and you can change it whenever you want or need to.

How to change your Slack password

To change your Slack password, you need to know what your current Slack password is. If you do not remember your current password, you will need to recover it first. To change your Slack password, follow these steps.

1. Abre Slack.
2. Click on your account profile at the top and select Profile.
3. Click the more options button and select Account Settings.
4. A new tab will open in your browser.
5. Click Expand next to the password field.
6. Enter your current password.
7. Enter the new password.
8. Click Save password.

If you have forgotten your password and need to recover it, before you can change it, follow these steps.

1. Open the Slack login page.
2. Enter your email.
3. Use the magic link that was emailed to you to log in.
4. Go to your Slack account settings page.
5. Scroll down to the Password section and click Expand.
6. Click the Reset your password by email button.
7. An email will be sent to you with a reset link.
8. Click on the link and create a new password.

conclusion

Magic links are great, and Slack doesn’t routinely log users out of their account on the desktop or mobile apps. In most cases, you will only need to log in once and rarely again. With that said, if you make any major changes to your Slack account, for example if you change the associated email, you will need to enter your password. Changes like this cannot be made with a magic link. Your Slack password is not workspace specific. It was linked to your email. When you change your password, it is changed for all workspaces associated with your email account.
