It’s certainly an inconvenience to forget the password for your Proton VPN account, but the good news is that the password can be reset in a matter of seconds. In the unfortunate event that you are unable to access your Proton VPN account as a result of losing your password, follow this detailed document to reset it and access your account once again.
Step 1: Go to the Login page of Proton VPN
The first thing you need to know about changing your Proton VPN password is that it is not very difficult. The first step to accomplish that is to go to the Proton VPN website. Once you are on the homepage, look for a sign that says “Sign in” on the upper right-hand side of the page and click on it. You will now be directed to the Proton VPN login portal. Underneath the given login fields there is an option that says “Forgot your password”. Please click on this link and you will be taken to the password reset page.
Step 2: Provide Your Email Address for the Proton VPN Account
At the password reset page, you will be prompted to type in the email address that you possess and use for the Proton VPN account registrations. Ensure that you enter the email address accurately. This step is important because if you send instructions to an email address that is wrong, you will not be able to receive them. After typing your email, click on the button “Submit”.
Step 3: Confirm Your Email
Upon submission of your email address, Proton VPN will automatically dispatch a password reset link to your personal email. Note that the email’s link will only be active for a specified timeframe hence checking your email should be a habit. If there is no trace of the reset email, proceed to the spam folder or the junk folder. In case the email was not received again, it would be necessary to obtain another password reset in the same way as in Step 2.
Step 4: Click On The Password Reset Link
At this point, you should have received our password reset request email. Open the email and click on the link which should be embedded in it. The link will be to a page allowing the user to set a new password on the Proton VPN account. However, if that link is inactive or you reach the page which says the link is no longer active, you will need to obtain a new link from the login page and start again.
Step 5: Set a New Password
The initiator will be required to set up a new password for the Proton VPN account upon the completion of the password creation page. It is important to create a strong password in order to avoid exposure of your Proton VPN account. Strong passwords are usually a mixture of upper case, lower case, digits and special characters. It would ideally be something that you can recall easily but others would find it difficult to figure out. You will have to click the left button above to input your new password while the left bar asks you to type the same password for confirmation.
Step 6: Sign in Using the Newly Created Password
After the new password is established, the phase of signing back into the Proton VPN account can be started with the new credentials. Just input the email and the password that was created recently, and the troubles that were previously encountered with the Proton VPN account should be over.
Conclusion
Changing your Proton VPN password is not a complicated task. It can be done in only a few clicks. You will be able to recover your account in a matter of minutes and reinforce its security by choosing a new password if you follow the guidelines outlined above. If you have issues with the procedure of resets, Proton VPN has this ProtonMail Customer Care Number which can help you. Ensure your password recovery email is secure and remember to change it from time to time to make future password reset easier.
