You can change your Google Nest password through the Nest app settings, provided you're not using a Google account to sign in. If you are using a Google account, you'll change your password through your Google account settings. Here's how to change it via the Nest app:
- On the Nest app home screen, tap Settings (the gear icon).
- Select Account. Then, select Manage account.
- Tap Account Security, then Account password.
- Enter your current password, then enter your new password and confirm it.
- Tap Save changes.
Important Notes:
- Google Account: If you're using a Google Account to sign in to your Nest devices, the Nest app will redirect you to Google's account management page ("google.com") to change your password. The steps above are specifically for users who have a Nest account, not a Google account linked to Nest.
- Password Strength: Choose a strong password that's difficult to guess. A strong password typically includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Security: Regularly changing your password is a good security practice.
- Forgotten Password: If you've forgotten your password, there's typically a "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page that will guide you through the password recovery process.
