Your a la mode username and password controls your access to any a la mode product you own. If you change your password or forget it and need to reset it, you will need to update any other accounts or products that access your a la mode services using those credentials.
Follow the steps below to update the password for your a la mode account in each product you own. Skip any section that reflects a product you do not own, but DO NOT skip a section for a product you own.
