User’s Email Address

Obviously, a user’s email address is the email address of the user.

If you purchased a turnkey website, you will likely have to change the email address of the admin user.

How To Change This Setting

Short Version

From the Dashboard, go to Users > All Users. Hover the mouse cursor over the your chosen username and click Edit.

Enter the new email address in the Email field. Click the Save Update Profile.

As security precaution, an email will be sent to the email address you just entered. Click on the link inside that email to confirm that you want to update the change.

New Password

From the Dashboard, go to Users > All Users. Hover the mouse cursor over the your chosen username and click Edit.

To change the password, click the Set New Password button.

A suggested strong password will be displayed.

You can use this password, or replace it with a different password.

Obviously, use a different password than “your_strong_new_password”.

Make certain it is a strong password. If you use weak or medium strength passwords are easy for a computer to crack.

No matter what password you use, remember it!
