How do I change my password for my Azure account itself?

Hi,

I just got a message from google that my password for portal.azure.com is compromised. Clicking "change the password" took me to a logon screen where I was able to log in by just clicking my e-mail - no password entered. (Am currently signed in to my outlook mail)

(Sidequest(ion): why can I do that? I know for sure that my password for Azure differs from that for my mail, since I know both of them)

Having accessed the Azure portal, I am simply not able to find out where to go in order to change my password - can anyone help me?

Thanks

    Hi @Anders Madsen ,

    to change your own password:

    • Sign in to the Azure Portal
    • Click on your name in the top right corner in the portal and select View account
    • A new tab should open with details of you account
    • Click on CHANGE PASSWORD
