There are countless reasons why you might want to change your Google password, from a potential security breach to a newfound need for privacy. Show
Even if you don't have a specific reason in mind, it's always a wise decision to change your password every few months in order to keep your account secure. If you forgot your password entirely, you'll likely need to recover it. This process differs slightly from changing your password, and it can be helpful if you don't remember most of your Google account information.
