#### Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x
The `influx user password` command updates passwords for **InfluxDB OSS 2.x** users,
but does not update passwords for **InfluxDB Cloud** accounts.
To change your InfluxDB Cloud account password, see
[Change your password](/influxdb/cloud/account-management/change-password/).
