Changing Your Password
Update your Fansit password from account settings. Use a long, unique password that you don't reuse on other sites.
How to change
- Settings → Account → Password.
- Enter your current password.
- Enter your new password twice.
- Save.
The change takes effect immediately. You stay logged in on your current device but other sessions are signed out.
Password requirements
- Minimum 12 characters.
- Mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Cannot match any of your last 5 passwords.
- Cannot be a commonly-leaked password (we check against public breach databases).
We recommend using a password manager to generate and store your password.
If you forgot your current password
Use the Forgot password flow from the login screen:
- Tap Forgot password.
- Enter your email.
- Check your email for a reset link.
- Set a new password.
- Log in with the new password.
The reset link expires after 1 hour.
After changing
Other sessions get signed out. You'll need to log in again on:
- Other browsers.
- Other devices.
- Mobile apps.
Your 2FA settings stay the same — you'll be prompted for 2FA on the next login as usual.
Two-factor authentication
If you don't have 2FA enabled, this is a good moment to set it up. See Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication.
A strong password is good. A strong password plus 2FA is much better.
If you suspect your account was compromised
If you think someone else accessed your account:
- Change your password immediately (using the standard flow above).
- Sign out of all sessions — Settings → Account → Active Sessions → Sign out all.
- Enable 2FA if you haven't already.
- Check your transaction history for any unauthorized activity.
- Email support@fansit.com with details if you find anything suspicious.
We can help investigate, freeze pending transactions, and refund unauthorized charges.
Bad password patterns
Avoid:
- Using the same password as another account (especially email or banking).
- Using personal info (birthday, pet name, address).
- Short passwords (under 12 characters).
- Variations of common words ("Password1!" — these are in breach databases).
The strongest passwords are:
- Generated by a password manager.
- 16+ characters.
- Random.
- Unique to Fansit.
