Change Your TradeLyser Password

If you registered for TradeLyser with email and password, rotating your password periodically is one of the simplest ways to protect your trading journal, import history, and subscription details. Indian traders often reuse broker passwords out of habit; your journal should use its own strong, unique credential stored in a password manager.

This guide covers how to change your password inside TradeLyser, what requirements apply, what happens to active sessions, and how to recover access if you forget the new password. Indian traders who journal daily should treat credential hygiene with the same discipline as position sizing—one compromised password can expose years of trade notes and performance data.

Overview​

Password changes are handled under Settings → Security. You must prove you know the current password before setting a new one—this blocks anyone with temporary access to an unlocked laptop from locking you out.

After a successful update, TradeLyser may log out other sessions or send a confirmation email. Expect to sign in again on mobile and desktop with the new password.

When to change your password:

  • Every 90–180 days as a personal policy
  • Immediately if you shared a screen recording that showed typing
  • After malware removal or phishing email you clicked
  • When leaving a shared workspace or cyber café session
  • Before travel if devices might be lost

When to use reset instead: If you do not know the current password, skip this guide and use reset forgotten password.

Prerequisites​

RequirementDetails
Known current passwordRequired for in-app change flow
Logged-in sessionOr ability to log in first
New password readyUnique, 12+ characters recommended
Email accessFor confirmation or reset if change fails
Not Google-onlyGoogle-only accounts may need to set a password in Security first

Accounts created solely via Continue with Google might not have a TradeLyser password until you add one under Security. In that case, look for Set password rather than Change password.

Step-by-step: Change your password​

Step 1 — Open Security settings​

  1. Log in to https://tradelyser.com.
  2. Click your profile icon (top-right).
  3. Select Settings.
  4. Click Security in the left menu.

Step 2 — Start the change password flow​

  1. Locate the Change password section.
  2. Click Change password (or Update password).
  3. A form or modal opens with three fields.

Step 3 — Enter current and new passwords​

  1. Current password — Type your existing TradeLyser password carefully. Caps Lock causes most failures here.
  2. New password — Enter a strong password meeting TradeLyser rules (minimum 8 characters; include mixed case, numbers, and symbols).
  3. Confirm new password — Re-type the new password exactly. Mismatch errors appear if characters differ by one.

Click Update password or Save.

Step 4 — Handle post-update behavior​

  1. Read the success message on screen.
  2. If logged out automatically, sign in with the new password.
  3. Check email for a “password changed” notification. If you did not make this change, contact support@tradelyser.com immediately and attempt reset forgotten password from a safe device.

Step 5 — Update saved credentials elsewhere​

  1. Open your password manager and update the TradeLyser entry.
  2. On mobile browsers, delete old autofill entries if login fails.
  3. Sign out of unused devices from profile or security options if Active sessions is available.

FAQ​

Why does TradeLyser reject my new password?​

Common causes: too short, missing number or symbol, same as current password, or contains unsupported characters. Meet all listed rules and try a generated password from a manager.

Why does it say current password is wrong?​

Typo, Caps Lock, or you are on a Google-only account without a TradeLyser password yet. Try logging out and using Forgot password, or set an initial password in Security.

Will changing password disconnect broker sync?​

No. Broker tokens are separate from your login password. If sync fails after unrelated events, see trades not syncing.

Do I need to re-import trades after a password change?​

No. Trade data remains in your account.

How often should Indian retail traders rotate passwords?​

There is no legal mandate for journaling tools, but quarterly rotation plus immediate rotation after incidents is a solid baseline.

Can I use the same password as my Zerodha or Groww login?​

Strongly discouraged. Compromise of one service should not expose your full trading stack.

Will mentors lose access when I change my password?​

Mentee/mentor permissions are account-level, not password-sharing. Mentors never need your password.

I did not receive the confirmation email.​

Check spam, wait five minutes, verify profile email in update profile. Email support@tradelyser.com if an unauthorized change occurred.

Can support tell me my new password?​

No. Support can guide reset flows but cannot read your password.

Should I change password before connecting a new broker?​

Not required, but if you are setting up OAuth on a shared machine, change password afterward and log out. Broker connection uses separate authorization at the broker’s site.

Does password change affect mobile app login?​

Yes. Mobile sessions use the same credentials; update saved passwords in the app or mobile browser after a change.

Does two-factor authentication replace password changes?​

If TradeLyser offers 2FA on your plan, use both. 2FA protects login; periodic password rotation still helps if the password was leaked elsewhere.

What characters should I avoid in passwords?​

Some systems reject spaces or certain Unicode characters. Stick to ASCII letters, digits, and common symbols (!@#$%^&*) if the form rejects your first attempt.

Can I paste from a password manager?​

Yes—pasting into New and Confirm fields is recommended to avoid typos. Paste current password carefully once; managers auto-fill wrong field order sometimes.

What if the Update button is greyed out?​

Fill all fields, satisfy strength meter, and ensure confirm field matches new password exactly.

Prevention and best practices​

Use a generated password from Bitwarden, 1Password, or similar—human memorable passwords leak in breaches.

Never share passwords with mentors, signal groups, or “support” on Telegram. Real support is support@tradelyser.com.

Change password on trusted networks only; avoid public Wi‑Fi without VPN for account settings.

After changing password, review login alerts if available.

Keep recovery email current in update profile before you change passwords during email migrations.

Document the change date in your personal security log if you run multiple tools.

If employees had desk access, change password and review active sessions the same day.

Do not embed passwords in Excel macros that auto-login to TradeLyser—macros get shared.

Incident response if you suspect compromise​

If you receive a password-changed email you did not trigger, treat it as urgent: attempt login from a trusted device, use reset forgotten password immediately if login fails, and email support@tradelyser.com with timestamps. Review recent imports and subscription changes. Indian traders should also rotate broker passwords separately because journal access may reveal position history even when broker funds are safe behind two-factor broker login.

Working with mentors and shared reviews​

Mentors should never ask for your TradeLyser password. Legitimate mentor access uses mentee permissions. Changing your password does not revoke mentor visibility that was granted through product settings—revoke mentee links in mentee management if you end a coaching relationship.
