Reset a forgotten password

If you can’t remember your password, VirgilTrack can email you a link to choose a new one. You don’t need to ask anyone for help.

If you know your password and just want to change it, do it in Settings instead. See Change your password.

  1. On the Sign In page, select Forgot Password ?.

    The Forgot your password? page opens.

  2. Type the email address you sign in with.

  3. Select Send the link.

    VirgilTrack shows Check your email.

The Forgot your password? page, with one box for your email address and the Send the link button
Asking for a reset link

VirgilTrack gives the same answer whether or not an account uses that address. This keeps other people from finding out who has an account.

  1. Open the email “Set your VirgilTrack password” and select Set my password.

    A page opens that greets you by name: “Hi …, set your password”.

  2. Type your new password in New password.

    Use at least 8 characters, with a capital letter, a number and a symbol. It also needs at least one small letter.

  3. Type it again in Repeat it.

  4. Select Set password.

  5. When Password set appears, select Sign in and sign in with your email address and new password.

The Set your password page, with the New password and Repeat it boxes and the Set password button
Choosing a new password
  • Your new password works straight away, and your old one stops working.
  • If you hadn’t confirmed your email address yet, setting a password through the emailed link confirms it too.
  • The link works only once. If you need to change your password again, ask for a new link.
