My active and owner keys are the same. I want to change active key to be different from owner, for safety.
What command should I use?

Is it possible to set the account keys from within a smart contract action rather than calling cleos? – Max Aug 1 '18 at 11:52

is there an easier way to do this for someone who is not technical? – Markos Solomou Aug 26 '18 at 5:45
Looks like I found the answer I was looking for.
cleos set account permission accountname active '{"threshold": 1, "keys": [{"key": "NEW_ACTIVE_PUBLIC_KEY", "weight": 1}]}' owner
When having weight 1 you can simply use this alias instead:
cleos set account permission accountname active NEW_ACTIVE_PUBLIC_KEY owner -p accountname@owner
After, you can check that it worked with:
cleos get account accountname
