It’s recommended that you change your passwords regularly online to maintain security, and that includes educational sites such as Google Classroom. You can switch to a new password easily, and once you change it, you’ll use the new password across all G Suite applications including Sheets, Docs, and Gmail, among others. 

The process of changing your password on Google Classroom is simple and straightforward, but you will need to use a computer to do so as the option isn’t available on the mobile app. 

How to change your Google Classroom password

1. Go to the Google Classroom website and log in to your account. 

2. On the upper left side of the screen, click the three horizontally stacked lines to reveal menu options. 

3. Click “Settings.”
