# Setting up password recovery information

On the Change Password page, in the Password Recovery Information section, you can specify information (also called a password hint) that can help you remember a forgotten password.

The first time that you change your password you are also required to provide password hint information.

Note: The password recovery feature is available only if your study has been configured to allow it.

To specify information for a password hint:

1. In the upper-right corner of the main user interface window, click the picture or user name.

   The Change Password page appears.

2. In the Change Password section, do either of the following:
   - Leave the Change Password section blank to keep your current password.
   - Change your password. For more information, see Changing your password.
3. Complete the Password Recovery Information section as follows, and click Submit.

   Field | Description
