Troubleshooting Tips
If you did not receive the password reset email:
- Confirm that your email address used when setting up your Ring account is correct.
- Search your email for the subject line:Set Up Your New Password Now.
- Check spam folders or other filters that might be active on your email account.
- Check for typos in your email address like ".con."
If the login page keeps reloading after clicking “Create Password” in the reset email:
- Clear the cache and cookies in your browser.
- Try using incognito mode, private mode, a different browser, or a different device.
- Delete any old password reset emails, then restart the process to receive a new email with a fresh security token.
If you get Invalid Token error message:
- This can occur when you're attempting to use an older password reset email where the security token has expired.
- Tokens expire 10 minutes after the email has been sent, or if a new password reset request is initiated.
- Try deleting all previous Ring password reset emails, then start the process from the beginning to generate a new email and security token.
Keeping your account secure
If you did not authorize changes made to your account, such as an updated email, phone number or any other setting, we recommend changing your password immediately. Learn how Ring protects your account when we detect a security issue.
Do not share your password with anyone
Never provide your Ring login information to others. No Ring employee, customer support associate, or Community manager will ever ask you for your password. If you want to share access to your Ring devices with other people, you can add them as a Shared User. This allows you to maintain control of your account.
Manage your authorized devices
If you suspect your Ring account has been compromised, remove any unauthorized logins. Learn how to manage which devices are logged in and authorized to access your Ring account.
Confirm how you want to receive your sign-in code
Under Account Verification in Control Center, you can choose how you want to receive your six-digit verification code whenever you sign in to the Ring app or your account at Ring.com. We require you to enter this code to help protect your Ring account. Learn more about two-step verification.
Use different passwords for every account
By using different usernames and passwords for your various accounts, you reduce the risk that someone could reuse credentials compromised from one account to access your other accounts.
