How to change or reset oDesk acccount password

The Basics
Your password is primary security measure on your account. Along with the security question, it protects your account from fraud and unauthorized access. Do not share your password with anyone and never allow others to log in using your oDesk  account.

The Background
Please keep these important things in mind:

• Be extremely careful when you enter the password, and don’t forget that it is case sensitive.
• Your password should be easy for you to remember and hard for others to guess. 

The Details
To change your password:

1. Click the Settings icon.
2. Under User Settings, click Change Password, and then fill in the form.

If you forgot your password and need to reset it:

1. Make sure you have access to the email address on file with oDesk.
2. Click the Forgot Password reset link on the log in form. Enter your email address. We will then send an email which will allow you to reset your password. Be sure to check your spam, junk, and/or trash folders if you can't find the reset email. This email is time sensitive—the reset link will only work for one hour.
3. Follow the email’s link to set a new password.

If you suspect that someone has compromised your account:

• Change your security question immediately.
• Change your password.
• Contact Customer Support to report the problem.
