GOG Password Reset (Step-By-Step Guide)

If you have a GOG account and are temporarily locked out, then you won’t be able to access your library of DRM-free games. This guide will show you how to do a GOG password reset so that you can easily sign in to your accounts safely and securely. 

TIP – If you’re having a hard time creating a secure password for your GOG account or any other app, etc., the best solution is to use a password manager. With FastestPass, you can create a long-tailed and strong password, securing it in the security vault for future use.

Before you get started with the tutorial, you need to ensure that you still have working access to the email address registered to your GOG account. The entire GOG password reset process relies on this.

Step-by-Step Guide to a GOG Password Reset

Here is how to get started: 

• Navigate to the GOG login page on your web browser. The official site for it is GOG.com. 
• Click on the “Log in” button. You will find it in the top-right corner of the homepage.
• Now, on the same page, next to the login form, locate and click the link that says “Forgot your password?” 

The link is usually found below the password entry field.

• A new page will load. 
• You will then be prompted to enter your email address. Ensure that you type the full email address that is linked to your GOG account. 
• Now, click the “Send reset link” button.
• Go to your email, the one you provided for account creation. Check to see if you’ve received any new messages from gog.com. It should come with a similar subject line to your requirements. For instance, “Password reset instructions.” 

Tip: If you don’t see the email within a few minutes, you should also give your Spam and Junk folders a go. Most emails are often misplaced there. 

• Open the email you received from GOG and click the “Reset password” link or button provided. This link will redirect you to another secure page on GOG’s website.

Note: Please know that for security reasons, this link expires after a short period, a few hours. So, do use it promptly and don’t share the link with anyone else. 

Now, once you’re on the redirected GOG password reset page, enter your new password, and then re-enter it for confirmation. Ensure you create a unique password with at least 12 characters. Ensure that you include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Also, try avoiding repeating passwords that you normally use for other social media accounts and apps. 

• After entering your new password and confirming it, click the “Change password” or “Submit” button. 
• You will usually see a confirmation message. You have now completed the GOG password reset process and can now go back to the login page to sign in with your new password.

When attempting to reset your GOG account password, you might encounter some common issues. Here’s how to fix them: 

• “Email not found” error: Always check to see if you are using the correct email address for your GOG account. If it fails, attempt with alternate emails you may have used.
• No reset email arrives: If you don’t get a reset email within 10-15 minutes, check all email folders again. If it still hasn’t arrived, you can request a new reset link from the GOG login page.
• Expired reset link: If the link in the email has expired, simply restart the process from the tutorial above to generate a new email with a fresh link.
• No access to registered email: If you have permanently lost access to your account’s email address, you must contact GOG Support directly for help. You will need to verify your account ownership through other means.
