Security Features

When you change your password:

• All existing sessions on other devices will be automatically logged out
• Your current session will remain active
• The password change is logged in your activity feed
• You’ll need to use the new password for future logins

The system uses secure password hashing and verification through Laravel’s authentication system (see AccountController.php:56-74).

Important Security Notes:

• Use a strong, unique password
• Avoid reusing passwords from other services
• Consider enabling Two-Factor Authentication for additional security
• All other devices will be logged out immediately after changing your password

Activity Logging

All account changes are automatically logged:

• Email Changes: Logs both old and new email addresses (user:account.email-changed)
• Password Changes: Logs password update events (user:account.password-changed)

You can view these logs in your activity feed to monitor account security.
