Resetting
your password.

The forgot-password link, the email, the reset form. What to expect and what to do if the link expires.

One-hour link. The reset link is valid for one hour. If it expires, just request a new one — there's no penalty.

Password resets are designed to be quick and safe — five minutes from "I forgot" to "I'm back in". The flow below is what most people see; the section after it covers what to do when something doesn't work.

01 The reset flow

  1. 1
    Click Forgot password on the login screen

    Or open /forgot-password directly.

  2. 2
    Enter your email

    The address you signed up with.

  3. 3
    Check your inbox

    Email arrives within a minute. Click the reset link inside.

  4. 4
    Set a new password

    Minimum 8 characters. Save.

  5. 5
    Log in with the new password

    You're back in.

02 When the link expires

Reset links are valid for 60 minutes. After that, clicking the link shows an "Expired" screen with a button to request a new one. No penalty for requesting multiple times — the most recent one is the active one.

03 Picking a new password

  • Minimum 8 characters. Anything shorter is rejected.
  • A password manager helps. 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Keychain — any of them. A generated 20-character password is stronger and easier than a memorized one.
  • Don't reuse passwords. If another site leaks, your nouz account stays safe.

04 If the email doesn't arrive

Reset emails not arriving? Check spam first. If still nothing after 5 minutes, see My password reset link expired or email support@nouz.co.

The most common causes of reset emails not arriving: spam filter catching them, typo in the email address you entered (it has to match what you signed up with), or a corporate inbox filter blocking first-time senders. If you've waited five minutes and checked spam, request a second reset — sometimes the first email is genuinely lost in transit.
