Change your password

If you signed up with email and password, you can change your password any time. If you signed up with Apple or Google, you don’t have a password by default — but you can add one to also enable email/password sign-in alongside social sign-in.

Change an existing password

Account Settings with Reset Password option

  1. Open Options → Account settings → Security.
  2. Tap Change password.
  3. Enter your current password.
  4. Enter the new password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters and numbers recommended).
  5. Confirm the new password.
  6. Tap Save.

Forktastic signs you out of all other devices for security. You’ll need to sign in again with the new password on any other device you use.

Add a password to a social account

If you signed up with Apple or Google and want to also be able to sign in with email/password (so you can sign in on web without redirecting to your social provider):

  1. Open Options → Account settings → Security → Sign-in methods.
  2. Tap Add password.
  3. Enter your account email (pre-filled if you have one) and a new password.
  4. Confirm.

Now you can sign in with either method.

Forgot your password?

If you can’t remember your password but still have access to your email:

  1. On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password.
  2. Enter your account email.
  3. Forktastic sends a reset link.
  4. Open the link from your email → it lands on a reset page.
  5. Enter a new password twice.
  6. Tap Reset password.

The link is valid for 1 hour from sending. If it expires, request a new one.

See Reset a forgotten password for the troubleshooting path when reset doesn’t seem to work.

If you no longer want Apple or Google sign-in linked to your account:

  1. Open Options → Account settings → Security → Sign-in methods.
  2. Tap Apple or Google in the list.
  3. Tap Unlink.
  4. Confirm.

Caveat: you can only unlink a sign-in method if your account has at least one other way to sign in. If your only sign-in method is Apple (no password, no Google), Forktastic won’t let you unlink Apple — that would lock you out. Add a password first, then unlink Apple.

Change your account email

You can change the email address tied to your account — useful if you switched email providers or made a typo at signup:

  1. Open Options → Account settings → Security → Account email.
  2. Tap Change email.
  3. Enter the new email.
  4. Forktastic sends a verification link to the new email.
  5. Open the link from the new inbox → the change confirms.
  6. Forktastic also notifies the old email that the change was made (security best practice).

If you don’t have access to either email, contact support@forktastic.com with your account details.

Sign-in security

A few notes on how Forktastic handles sign-in security:

  • Sessions are issued as device-specific tokens; signing out on one device doesn’t sign out others. Use Sign out all sessions in security settings to revoke everywhere.
  • Failed sign-in attempts are rate-limited per IP and per account. Too many failures result in a temporary lockout (10 minutes typically).
  • Two-factor authentication isn’t currently supported but is on the roadmap. For now, use a strong password and enable device-level biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint) for app launch.

App lock (extra protection)

If you share a phone or want a layer of protection inside the app:

  • Options → Account settings → Security → App lock → toggle on.
  • The app requires Face ID / Touch ID / passcode each time you open it.

This is on top of your account password. It’s a device-level lock; uninstalling and reinstalling Forktastic bypasses it (you’d still need your password to sign back in).
