How to Reset Your Account Password

Locked out of your RepublicNodes account? Here's the actual process — and what to do if the automated reset doesn't work.

Standard Password Reset

1. Go to the login page and click Forgot Password.
2. Enter the email address your account is registered under.
3. Check your inbox (and spam/junk folder — automated reset emails are exactly the kind of message spam filters sometimes catch) for a reset link.
4. Click the link and set a new password. Links expire after a set window for security, so use it promptly rather than leaving the email unread for days.

If You Don't Receive the Email

• Double-check you're using the exact email address the account was created with — a common issue is trying a personal email when the account was actually registered under a work/alternate one.
• Wait a few minutes; email delivery isn't always instant.
• Check whether your provider is silently blocking automated mail — this happens more than people expect with some Indian email providers and corporate spam filters.
• Still nothing after 10-15 minutes? Open a support ticket from a way to reach us that doesn't require being logged in (Discord, or the contact options on our site) — support can help verify your identity and get you back in without needing the automated email.

Changing Your Password While Logged In

If you're still logged in but just want to update your password (good practice periodically, or after using it somewhere else that had a breach):

1. Go to Account Settings.
2. Find the password change section.
3. Enter your current password and the new one.
4. Save — you'll typically stay logged in on your current session, but other active sessions may be signed out for security.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

If you have 2FA enabled and lose access to your authenticator, a plain password reset alone won't get you back in — that's by design, since 2FA exists specifically to stop a compromised password from being enough. This requires support verification of your identity to disable/reset 2FA safely; expect to be asked for account details that only the real owner would know.

A General Security Note

Use a password you don't reuse anywhere else, and turn on 2FA if you haven't — a compromised account with an active paid service and payment methods attached is a real target, not a hypothetical one. A minute of setup now is a lot cheaper than recovering a hijacked account later.
