Have you forgotten your @KW.com (or any other KW provided email) email password? Not to worry, you can update your email password by going to the Google login page, typing your @kw.com email account. and using the Forget Password option. As long as a Recovery Email or Recovery Phone number is tied to your account, you can follow the normal Google process to reset the password:

1. Go to the Gmail login page (click to add a new account if you are already logged in to a Gmail account), enter your new @kw.com email address, and click Next.

To ensure the security of your KW account, it's essential to create a strong password that is not easily guessable. Follow these guidelines to create a strong password and avoid receiving an error message when resetting your credentials:
  • Passwords must conform to the following criteria: 
  • Be at least 12 characters (and under 255)
  • Contain one uppercase letter
  • Contain one lowercase letter
  • Contain one number
  • Contain one symbol. Example: ~!@#%$
  • Not be the same, or too similar, as the last 4 passwords
  • Not use common phrases or information
  • Consider using a passphrase:
    • A passphrase utilizes letters and numbers to remember a longer phrase.
    • Example: Move from E to P is my favorite of the 6 Personal Perspectives! could be mFE2piMfot6PP! 
  • Avoid using vulnerable passwords:
    • Examples of vulnerable passwords contain pet names, common words, personally meaningful dates, and locations.
    • Any information that is easily found on social media can make your passwords vulnerable.
       
  • Follow best practices:
    • Don’t use the same passwords for all accounts
    • Don’t reuse passwords
    • Don't collect or share passwords using a shared spreadsheet
    • Use a password manager or password vault to generate and store passwords
    • Change your passwords every 90 days
