If you think your VALORANT account is compromised or you’ve forgotten your account credentials, then it’s time to change your password. Thankfully, you don’t have to raise a ticket to do that. Instead, changing your VALORANT password is relatively easy and can be done in a few simple steps. So, without any further ado, let’s dive into the details.
How to change the password of your VALORANT account?
1. Go to Riot Games Account Management
To change the password for the VALORANT account, you’ll need to go to the Riot Games Account Management page. You can do this by going directly to account.riotgames.com.
2. Login your account
In case if you are not logged in then you will be asked to sign in with your user ID and password. This consists of your username which mostly is an email address and your current password. Unfortunately, if you have forgotten your current password, all you have to do is click the “Forgot Password?” link.
After logging into the account, you are redirected to the account management page. Search for the section called “Account Information” or “Settings. ” It is there where you will find the password change option
4. Enter Your Current Password
As is often the case for security purposes, you want to enter your existing password in first. This step ensures that whoever is requesting a change of password is the rightful owner of the account in question.
5. Create a New Password
Subsequently, you will be prompted to enter a new password. When creating a new password, consider the following tips for enhanced security:
Length: 8-12 characters are recommended for the password.
Complexity: Use both letter case and number as well as special characters.
Avoid Common Phrases: Do not opt for such basic and identifiable details such as password 123, or the date of birth.
6. Confirm the New Password
Repeat your new password in the second field to remember it.
7. Save Changes
Once you have entered the new password, a message that your password has been successfully changed will appear on your screen.
Remember to log out of other devices
As an extra measure, it is wise that you click on the logout button on all the other devices where your account could be active. This ensures that no one will be able to use the old password if your account is compromised.
To further secure your Riot Games account, consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) if available. 2FA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your mobile device, when logging in. And if you’re frustrated due to the high ping issue in VALORANT, then we’ve got you covered.
