# MS Teams Direct Routing - Updating Password For Service Account

> [!NOTE]
> Important Note:
> 
> **Please do not follow this article. We now use the voice app in Connect in place of Service Accounts**

**See this** [**link**](/v1/docs/ms-teams-adding-calltower-teams-voice-connector-app)

#### Updating the Password in Connect:

You may find the need to reset your service account password in connect, by default most passwords are set to expire in O365 so you'll need to actively manage that or set the password to not expire if you are confident in its complexity.

You can populate the username and password directly into your CallTower Connect portal.

First sign into [Connect (calltower.com)](https://connect.calltower.com/connect/#/dashboard)

Browse to Menu > Administration > Corporate Administration > Settings > Teams Settings

Alternatively you can acces it directly by clicking on this link: [Connect Teams Settings (calltower.com)](https://connect.calltower.com/connect/#/corp-admin/(corp-admin-outlet:teams-settings))
