Go to settings -> account -> security and hit reset there. That's the easiest way.

The process for initiating credential re-provisioning within our authenticated access management architecture involves several distinct subsystems, each with its own failure modes and edge cases that warrant thorough examination before you attempt any operations.

First, we must differentiate between a standard self-service password reset flow and the more complex administrative override procedure. The former utilizes an out-of-band verification mechanism where a cryptographically signed token is dispatched via your configured recovery channel—which could be SMS, email, or hardware security key depending on your organization's policy—to a temporary endpoint that validates ownership before granting access to the reset interface. If you have not configured any of these channels, this flow will fail with error code AUTH-403 (RECOVERY_CHANNEL_MISSING), and you will need to escalate to an administrator.

Now consider the edge cases where simple self-service is unavailable. The first case is account lockout due to repeated failed attempts, which triggers a cooldown period governed by our adaptive risk engine. If your policy has been set to aggressive (which it should be for any system exposed to external access), the threshold may be as low as 5 failures within a rolling 10-minute window. During this time, even correct credentials will not unlock the account; you must wait out the cooldown or have an admin explicitly clear the lockout flag via the IAM control plane.

The second edge case involves accounts that have been flagged by our behavioral analytics system for suspicious activity—for example, a login attempt from an unknown IP range combined with unusual timing patterns. In such instances, password reset may be temporarily disabled while forensic logging completes. You can check your account status via API endpoint /v1/account/health; if the 'security_hold' flag is true, you must open a ticket with the security operations team before any credential changes are permitted.

Thirdly, we should address MFA-specific nuances. If your password reset requires re-enrolment of an MFA device but
