I am going to change the password every quarter. I have recently looked at the time, and I have changed all the services that I can think of.

During the process, it was found that each vendor's strategy for resetting passwords was different. Some s appeared to be safe, but the logic was very mentally retarded. And some ** looks simple, but it's safer.

This article documents the password reset process for some major applications, the required verification methods, and the usage experience. Last updated: 2018/7/15

# IQIYI

When iQiyi resets the password, it needs to select Retrieve Password instead of changing the password and then perform security verification. Because their logic is that you want to change the password, then fill in the original password, then fill in the new password, duang~ changed. But when you need to change your password, you can't remember the password! Change password page:

Retrieve password page:

# BaiDu

Baidu needs to verify the mobile phone when resetting the password. You need to use the mobile phone to send a text message to the specified number. However, this junk account requires me to spend a dime to send a text message, and it has not been reset. By the way, it is almost impossible for Baidu accounts to be logged off. Unless you have the same cow [倔] (https://www.zhihu.com/question/64874991?nr=1).

# Bilibili

哔哩哔哩Resetting the password is very simple, enter the phone, get the verification code, and fill in the new password.

# Google

Google’s reset password is even simpler. Enter your old password, verify your Authenticator, and enter your new password.

# Apple

Apple's verification method, some fun, is also to enter the original account password, and then get the verification code. But I have an iPhone device, so the verification code is not in the form of a text message, but is directly pushed to the iPhone, and there is a small map that knows the approximate location of the device requesting the password change. It's amazing.

# IFTTT

When IFTTT resets the password, you are asked to enter the login email and then send a reset link to your email address. End by entering the new password directly via the link.

# JD

Jingdong supports a variety of verification methods, mobile phones, mailboxes, and payment passwords. Fill in the phone number, get the verification code, and fill in the new password.

# QQ

# Taobao

Taobao, I have nothing to say, click to change the password, directly automatic verification, and then let me fill in the new password. (There are some problems here because this device is my favorite device, so no other security verification is required)

# Netease

Another very standard process: fill in the phone number, get the verification code, and fill in the new password.

# Alipay

Alipay is a bit longer and needs to verify the phone number and bank card, but the verification process is not complicated. Enter the account first, verify the bank card, and enter a new password.

# feeling

To sum up, Google and Taobao are the easiest, Baidu and qq are the most cumbersome. Alipay is the safest. Everything else is quite satisfactory, and it is well balanced between safe and user-friendly.
