About This Feature

Overview

Change Account Password in WPS on Windows lets you set a sign-in password for your WPS account or update an existing one from the account security area in the desktop app. It is useful when you want to enable password-based sign-in for the first time, refresh an older password, or continue password recovery through email verification after forgetting the current password.

Core tasks include:

Set a password: enable password-based sign-in for the current WPS account.
Reset a password: enter the current password to switch to a new one, or continue with email verification if the current password is forgotten.

The password requirement is 8 to 16 characters and uses a combination of three types among uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can set a password or change a password from the Personal Center security settings in the WPS Windows client. If you forget the password, you can continue through linked email verification.	Microsoft supports changing a known password from the Microsoft account security page and provides a separate reset flow for forgotten passwords.	Google lets users change a Google Account password from account security settings and provides account recovery for password reset.	Notion lets users set a permanent password, change it in account settings, or reset it from the login flow if forgotten.	Adobe lets users change or reset an account password through Adobe account sign-in and recovery steps.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a client-side path from the avatar to Personal Center and then Security Settings, so password setup and password changes stay inside the desktop app workflow.	Compared with WPS: password management is mainly described through the web-based Microsoft account center rather than an in-app desktop path.	Compared with WPS: password changes are centered on the Google Account web security page instead of a desktop app account center.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports password management, but it also uses temporary login codes and other sign-in methods, so password is not always the main path.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on account portal recovery and sign-in pages, with fewer app-centered steps for this task.

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly manage account security inside the WPS Windows app, WPS offers a more centralized path for setting or changing your password. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also support password changes or resets, but their guidance is more focused on web account centers or separate recovery pages.
