CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD:

first of all, changing your password will help to keep your account along with your personal information secure. you should change it every once in a while to keep you safe

first, you click "User CP" on the upper left hand corner of WI.

then click "edit your details" towards the bottom of the pop-up.

on that screen, the second box down will be titled "edit you details username" click "edit email and password.

you will be asked to put in your current password (be sure to get it right)

then you will be asked to put in your new password. you have to type it in twice. don't copy and paste because if you made a mistake, it will take forever to find the password you typed!

PASSWORD TIPS:

try to use as many numbers and letters as possible mixing them around with some in the front, in the back, and maybe a few numbers in between! i also think that using symbols like !#$%^&*() in an order that is easy to remember. use a special date for example 1973. hold down the shift key while you are typing that number and you will get this:!(&#. these passwords with symbols in them are almost impossible to break!!!
