### 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

<Note>
  The system uses secure password hashing and verification through Laravel's authentication system (see `AccountController.php:56-74`).
</Note>

<Warning>
  **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
</Warning>

## 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.
