# Set a Password

### You Should Know\...

**The PodPlay system is a password-less software**. Password-less access is considered safer than traditional password-based authentication for several reasons:

1. **Eliminates Weak Passwords**: Customers often create passwords, reuse them across multiple sites, or choose easy-to-guess passwords
2. **Protection Against Phishing**: Phishing attacks trick users into revealing their passwords
3. **Reduced Credential Stuffing**: Attackers often use credentials obtained from data breaches on other platforms (credential stuffing)
4. **No Passwords to Store**: Storing passwords securely is a challenge for companies
5. **Resistance to Brute Force Attacks**: Without a password to guess, brute-force attempts become ineffective
6. **Improved User Experience**: Not needing to remember and frequently reset passwords enhances user experience, reducing the risk of weak or poorly managed credentials

Password-less systems remove these vulnerabilities by replacing passwords with stronger authentication methods, like the PodPlay email access method.

### Customer Creates a Password

If a Customer wants to create a Password for their Profile, they can:

1. Click on the `Log out` button in the More tab of the App
2. Enter your email address
3. Ignore the system sending a 6-digit code
4. Click on the `login with your password instead` hyperlink below where the 6-digits would be entered
5. Notice two options will appear as next steps:
   1. `reset your password` or `sign in without a password`
6. Click on `reset your password`
7. Click the `Send link` button (the email address should already be populated)
8. Navigate to your email and click on the “RESET YOUR PASSWORD” button
9. Notice a new browser tab will appear
10. Type in your new desired password and hit `Reset password`

Now a password has been set for this Profile.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podplay.app/profiles/creating-a-customer-profile/set-a-password-with-passwordless-signup-enabled.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
