Recover account access

Return to saved websites when a password, verification link, or sign-in method is causing trouble.

Use the recovery action that matches the account method. Password accounts can request a reset. Unverified email accounts can request another verification message. Linked sign-in providers should use the same provider originally connected to the account.

Account, security, and data controls

Account settings cover profile name, email, timezone, notifications, sign-in methods, passkeys, two-factor recovery, active sessions, plans, credits, DriftLess billing history, project access, and eligible advanced model or self-hosted setup.

  • Export account data before deletion when you need a copy.
  • Deactivation suspends access without cancelling billing. Scheduled deletion has a 30-day cancellation window; financial records can require further retention review before completion.
  • Use the normal recovery flow for lost access and never send passwords, recovery codes, or provider keys to support.

Choose the recovery that matches the problem

Use Forgot password for a password reset and open the newest message; reset links expire after one hour. For an unverified address, request a new verification email and check the correct inbox and spam folder. For a lost authenticator, use an unused recovery code through sign-in rather than sending the code to support.

  • A deactivated account uses Reactivate account, which asks for email and password. If you only used a linked sign-in provider and have no password, use password recovery or contact support; the provider button alone is not the reactivation form.
  • Signing into a claimed account is different from recovering an unfinished browser setup or expired guest website. Do not create another account to look for an existing project.

How to use this

  1. 1Open Sign in and choose the relevant recovery action.
  2. 2Check the email address attached to the account, including spam folders.
  3. 3Open only the most recent verification or reset link.
  4. 4Return to the intended project after signing in.
  5. 5Contact support without sharing passwords, recovery codes, or provider tokens if access still fails.

Keep in mind

  • Recovery links expire and older links may stop working after a newer request.
  • Two-factor recovery codes should be stored offline and used only once.
