Manage your password
If you’ve forgotten the password you use to sign in to your Slack team, you can reset it easily at any time.
The password you choose must be at least 6 characters long, and can't be things like password, 123456, or abcdef. 🔐
Tip: Keep in mind, if your team has single sign-on enabled, Slack does not store team member's passwords.

Troubleshooting
If you see a message telling you we can't find an account registered with your email address, it usually means one of two things:
- There's a mistake in your email address. It could be a typo, or the wrong email address. Double-check that it's the same email you used to sign up for your Slack team.
- You're trying to sign in to a different Slack team. You can find your team's Slack URL at slack.com/signin/find.
Tip: For security reasons, you won’t be able to choose a password you’ve previously used on the same team. Please try selecting a different one.
