Recovery
Password reset
In Turkish: Şifre sıfırlama
Setting a new password through the service's official reset process, usually with a link or code sent to your email or phone.
A reset is the normal way back in after you forget a password, and the first step after a suspected takeover. A good new password is long, unique and not used anywhere else.
Beware of fake reset emails: a message you did not ask for, with a link to "reset now", is a common phishing trick. Type the service's address yourself and start the reset there.
What to do
- Start a reset from the official site or app, not from a link in a message you did not request.
- Choose a new, unique password, ideally created by a password manager, and turn on two-step verification.
- After a reset, sign out of all other devices.
