Reset your Codex Editor password if you've forgotten it. Quick guide for the login screen reset flow.

Forgot Your Password?

If you can't remember your password, use the Forgot Password flow directly from the Codex login screen. This is the fastest way to regain access.

Reset Your Password (Step by Step)

Open the login screen
- Launch Codex Editor
- If you're already logged in, log out first (or restart the app to reach the login screen)
Click "Forgot Password"
- On the login screen, look for and click the Forgot Password option
Enter your registered email
- Use the exact email address you used when you created your account
Check your email
- Look in your inbox for a password reset email from Codex
- Also check spam, junk, and promotions folders
Click the reset link
- Open the email and click the password reset link (the link expires after some time)
Create a new password
- Must be at least 15 characters long
- Must contain at least one uppercase letter and one lowercase letter
- Confirm the new password
Log in
- Return to the login screen
- Enter your username (case sensitive) or email address
- Enter your new password

You must have used a real email address during registration.

Fake or temporary emails cannot receive password reset links. This is why the registration screen strongly warns you to use a real or reliable email.

Usernames are case sensitive — double-check capitalization if login fails after reset.
You can also use your registered email address in the username field to log in.

If you still cannot receive or complete the reset:

Go to the Troubleshooting guide and choose "I cannot log in or finish setup".
Or contact support on Discord with details of what you've tried.

Tip: Write down or securely store your username and the email you used for registration. This makes future password resets much easier.
