How to Fix Missing Password Reset Emails

How do I fix a missing password reset email?

Confirm the email address used for the reset
- Verify you entered the correct email address when requesting the password reset.
Check your spam or junk folder
- Password reset emails can sometimes be filtered into your spam or junk folder. Check there before taking further steps.
- If you find the email in your spam or junk folder, mark it as "Not spam" to help future messages reach your inbox.

Try an alternate email address
- If you have another mailbox (for example, a personal or corporate alternate), request the reset using that address.
-
Contact your email administrator or provider
- Ask your IT team or email provider to check whether messages from the service are being rejected.

If you manage your own mailbox
- Check mailbox-level settings or policies that might reject external messages and adjust them or contact your provider for assistance.
