How to reset your password? You may want to reset your password, for example, when you have forgotten it.

Warning

Resetting your password causes you to lose access to old messages. You can restore access to these old messages with a recovery code.

Tip

Does Zivver indicate that your password is incorrect, even though you are sure it is correct? It often happens that people mistype their password several times in a row—even if they enter it daily.
Tip 1: Keep trying! It often works after a few attempts.
Tip 2: Type your password in a text editor to check it. Then copy and paste it into the password field. This way, you can be sure you entered it correctly.

Info

Do you log in using your workplace credentials? In that case, contact your organization’s service desk to request a new password.
