Get back in when you forget your password

Let us go through this together, one little step at a time.

Tap each step once you have done it. This is just for you. Nothing is timed, and nothing can go wrong.

1. 1Go to the sign-in page where you usually log in.
2. 2Look near the password box for a small link.
3. 3It often says 'Forgot password' or 'Trouble signing in?'.
4. 4Tap or click that link. Any of those words is fine.
5. 5Type the email, phone number, or username for this account.
6. 6If you are not sure, type the email first. Take your time.
7. 7Press the button to send the reset.
8. 8It may say 'Send', 'Continue', or 'Reset'.
9. 9The website will now send you a link or a short code.
10. 10It may come by email or by text. Wait a few minutes.
11. 11Open your email or your text messages.
12. 12Find the new message and open it.
13. 13Open it only because you just asked for it.
14. 14Tap the link in the message, or type in the short code.
15. 15Never read this code to anyone who phones or messages you.
16. 16Real companies will not ask you for it.
17. 17When asked, type a new password you can remember.
18. 18The website will usually ask you to type it again to match.

20. 20Now keep your new password safe.
21. 21The easy way is to write it on paper. Keep the paper somewhere private.
22. 22If your phone or browser offers to save it, you can say yes.
