Reset your password
There are two ways to reset your password:
- Signed out of Slack? Follow these steps to reset your password.
- Signed in to Slack? Follow these steps to reset or change your password.

Troubleshooting
No option to reset your password
If you followed the steps above but don't have the Password section in Account settings, your workspace has single sign-on enabled. Instead of entering a Slack password, your company requires you to sign in to Slack using an identity provider like Okta, OneLogin, or G Suite.
Not receiving a password reset email
Followed the steps above, but have yet to receive a password reset email? Please check all tabs, folders, and spam filters in your inbox. Still not there? Drop us a line.
Lost access to the email address on your account
For security purposes, you must be able to access the email address associated with your Slack account to reset your password. If that's not possible, please contact your Workspace Administrator to update the email address associated with your account. Note that administrators can't reset or change passwords.
Slack can’t find an account registered with your email
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 to your Slack workspace.
- You may be trying to sign in to a different Slack workspace. You can find the right Slack URL at slack.com/get-started#find.
