3 min read Updated
What is it?
If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself from the sign-in page. Prism emails a 6-digit code to your address. You enter that code with a new password. You do not need to contact anyone.
Before you start
- You need access to the email inbox you use for Prism.
- Your new password needs at least 6 characters.
How to reset your password
Click Forgot password?
On the sign-in page, click Forgot password?. It sits next to Remember me. A box called Reset your password opens.
Enter your email
The box says "Enter your account's email and we'll send you a 6-digit code." Type your email in Email address. If you already typed it on the sign-in page, it is filled in for you.
Click Send code
The button shows Sending code…. Then you see "If an account exists for that email, we've sent a 6-digit code to it."
Enter the code
Open the email. The subject looks like "123456 is your Prism verification code". Type the 6 digits in Verification code.
Choose a new password
Type it in New password and again in Confirm password. It must have at least 6 characters.
Click Reset password
The button shows Updating…. When it works, you see Password updated — sign in with your new password.
Sign in
The box closes. Your email is already filled in on the sign-in page. Type your new password and click Sign In.
Useful links in the box
- ← Change email takes you back to fix the email address.
- Resend code sends a new code. It is greyed out for 60 seconds and shows Resend code in 45s (counting down).
- Cancel closes the box without changing anything.
Common issues

Frequently asked questions
I didn't get the reset email. What should I do?
Check your spam folder and make sure you typed the right email. After 60 seconds you can click Resend code. Prism only sends the code if an account exists for that email.
How long does the reset code work?
10 minutes. You can type a wrong code up to 5 times. After that, ask for a new code.
Does resetting my password also verify my email?
Yes. The code proves you own the email address, so an unverified account becomes verified after a reset.
