How to Reset Your NerdWallet Password

People who are trying to sign in to NerdWallet but forgot their password, or aren’t sure if they use a password at all.

This guide explains how to reset your NerdWallet password—if your account uses one.

Before resetting a password, it's important to understand how your account is set up. NerdWallet accounts can be accessed in three ways:

Google or Apple sign-in: You use “Continue with Google” or “Continue with Apple.”
Traditional password: You manually enter an email and a password to log in.

Important: If you use Google or Apple, you do not have a password. You will not receive a password reset email.

Go to the password reset page.
Enter the email address tied to your NerdWallet account.
Check your email inbox for a message with a reset link.
- Don’t see it? Check your spam or junk folder.
- Yahoo often sends password reset requests directly to trash; you may need to adjust settings or work with Yahoo support to allow them to be delivered.
Click the link you receive, then follow the steps to create a new password.

Reset links expire, so be sure to use it shortly after receiving it.

Your account likely does not use a password. Try logging in with Google or Apple.
Check your spam or junk folders.
Make sure you entered the correct email address.

Try each sign-in method:
