    Set a new password

    Softalon signs you in and opens your account settings. Go to Account › Security, type a new password of at least 8 characters in the Password card, and click Save.

The recovery email doesn't arrive

Check spam, and make sure you typed the email you signed up with. Click Go Back to enter a different address. If you turned off Email in Account › Notifications, codes may not be delivered. See I can't sign in.

The new password is rejected

Softalon rejects passwords found in known data breaches. Choose a password you haven't used anywhere else, at least 8 characters long.

I no longer have access to my email

Recovery only works through your account email. Contact Softalon support for help.
