Picasa: Forgot or change password

If you have forgotten or want to change your Picasa password, you can find detailed instructions in this article.

Recover or change Picasa password

You primarily know Picasa as image management software. For the password-protected Picasa Web Albums, use your Google account:

1. Your Picasa password is also your Google password, as Picasa is a Google service.
2. Go to the Google recovery website.
3. At this point, select "Forgot password" and enter your email address.
4. Then fill in the captcha and click on the "Next" button.
5. Now enter the last password that you can remember.
6. If you have left a phone number in your profile, you can request the code to reset by calling or texting. Alternatively, click the "I cannot access my phone" button.
7. If your account is only linked to a Gmail address, you will need to answer additional security questions.
8. If the address is independent, Google will send you a recovery email directly to this address.
