# Change a non-federated user's password

A non-federated user is a user who was manually created in OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights. As an administrator, you can edit the password for non-federated users whose profile includes the option to allow password changes. You can specify whether to define a new password or have a new password automatically generated, and whether to require the password be changed upon next login.

If logged into any of the application UIs as a non-federated user, you may have the option to change the password for the account you are logged in as.
