I created my account using Google sign in. I am told to make a password in order to access a folder that has been shared with me but it keeps telling me that I cannot set up a password and I cannot make a new stronger password. Please help.

Hi Mike, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist! 

Change password for your Box account, follow this process:

  1. Visit https://app.box.com/reset and enter the email address associated with your Box account.
  2. Check your email, you will receive an email with a link to reset your password.
    • Password reset links sent via email expire 3 hours after they are sent. If you need a new link after your current one has expired, visit https://app.box.com/reset to have another link emailed to you.
    • If you do not receive an email from Box for this password reset, check to see if your Box account is associated with that specific email address or another email address.
    • Also, check your spam folder in your email client for this email.

Thanks for posting!
