## Verified facts

Checked against Grindr's own documentation on 2026-08-20. Fields absent below are ones Grindr does not document, not ones we assumed.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reset starts at | https://neo-account.grindr.com/v3/user/password/reset/request |
| Reset by email | yes |
| Reset by phone | yes |
| The email contains | a link |
| Old password required | no |

## Steps

1. **Open Grindr's password reset page** at https://neo-account.grindr.com/v3/user/password/reset/request. This is where the "Forgot password?" link on the sign-in screen leads.
2. **Enter the email address or phone number on the account.** If you are not sure which address that is, search your inboxes for mail from grindr.com; the inbox holding those messages is the account email.
3. **Open the reset email and follow its link.** Links are single-use and short-lived; if nothing arrives in a few minutes, check spam and confirm the address.
4. **Choose a strong new password.** 16+ random characters, and never one used anywhere else.
5. **Store it somewhere sealed**: a password manager or encrypted vault, not a note and not a screenshot.

## Common problems

- **Password reset links expire quickly.** Password reset links expire after 30 minutes, so users must reset their password soon after requesting the link or it will no longer work.

- **Third-party account login prevents password reset.** Users who created their account through Facebook, Google, or Apple ID cannot reset their password, as they did not set up a password to begin with.

- **Phone number reset only works for accounts created via phone.** The phone number verification option for password reset only works if the account was originally created using a phone number. (https://help.grindr.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500008383042-How-to-change-your-email-address-or-password)
- **Password must meet strength requirements.** New passwords must be at least 8 characters (10 in some countries) and achieve a strength level of "Good" or "Fantastic!" on Grindr's strength meter.

## Doing it automatically

Repass connects to Gmail once, finds the accounts you have, and runs this flow for you in your own browser. Passwords are generated on your device and encrypted before they are stored; Repass also holds a key that can unwrap the vault, so signing in is enough to open it. It pauses and hands over when a site asks for a CAPTCHA or a code.
