# Reset your LightInventory password

> Request a reset link, choose a new password and sign in again. A reset never replaces your second factor, and your other sessions are signed out.

You can reset a forgotten password with a link we email you. The link changes only your password: you still need your second factor to sign in, and every other session on your account is signed out.

> **Note:** LightInventory is in development and not yet generally available. This page describes sign-in as designed. Step-by-step screenshots are added as each screen ships.

## Reset your password

1. On the sign-in page, select **Forgot your password?**.
2. Enter the email you use for LightInventory and select **Send reset link**.
3. Open the email and select **Choose a new password**.
4. Enter a new password of 12 to 128 characters and select **Save new password**.
5. Sign in with your new password, then confirm it's you with a passkey, your authenticator app or a recovery code.

The reset link works once and for a limited time. The email says how long. If it has expired, request a new one from the sign-in page.

## What changes after a reset

- Your password is changed, and your other sessions are signed out.
- We send an email to tell you the password was changed.
- Your passkeys, authenticator app and recovery codes stay the same.

An email link can reset a password, but it never replaces the second factor.

## If no email arrives

For privacy, the reset screen looks the same whether or not the address has an account with a password. If nothing arrives after a few minutes:

- Check your spam folder.
- Check that you typed the address you sign in with.
- If you created your account with Google, it may have no password to reset. Use **Continue with Google** instead.
