In this article you will find a step-by-step guide on how to reset your Passphrase and some tips on what makes a good Passphrase.
Why 'Passphrase' and not 'Password'?
Passphrases are made up of multiple words. Where passphrases tend to be much longer than traditional passwords, they are usually far more secure - even if they do not contain any special characters.

What makes a Passphrase secure?
Length
At least 12 characters long but 14 or more is better.
Mixture of different characters
A combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Not personal information
Avoid your name or the name of a family member, addresses and phone numbers. Ideally do not use a word that can be found in a dictionary or the name of a person, character, product, or organization.
Easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess
Consider using a memorable phrase like "6MonkeysRLooking^".
