Good to know

  • Live checklist. On Choose a new password, Password requirements ticks off each rule as you type. Include a lowercase letter too.
  • Symbols that work. Use letters, numbers and these symbols: ! @ # $ % ^ & * . - and _. Spaces and other symbols make the password invalid.
  • Links expire. A reset link works once and stops working after about an hour. Use the newest email right away.
  • Ten requests an hour. After 10 reset requests in an hour, you see "Too many password change requests." Wait the minutes shown and try again.

FAQ

My reset link says it doesn't work anymore. How do I reset my password?

"This reset link no longer works" means the link was used, expired or replaced by a newer one. Click Request a new link, then open the newest email right away.

What are the rules for a password?

At least 8 characters, with an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, and a number or one of ! @ # $ % ^ & * . - _.

Why is Save changes greyed out?

The two fields don't match, or the password breaks a rule. The red line under the field says "Please enter a valid password" or "Confirm password should match."

It says "User with such email was not found." What now?

That email has no account at your brokerage. Enter the exact email you sign in with. Not sure which one it is? Ask your admin.

I didn't get the reset email. Check your spam folder, then ask again in a few minutes. If you asked more than once, use the newest email.
