# Your password
## Password recovery

If you forget your WordPress password, use the **Lost your password?** link on the login screen.
WordPress will email a password reset link to the address associated with your account.

### Best practices
- Keep your account email address up to date.
- Use a strong, unique password after resetting.
- Avoid sharing login credentials.

For more details, refer to the official WordPress password recovery documentation.
