Acorns quietly invests your spare change, which means its account is wired straight to your bank and your investments. That makes the login a real target: get in, and someone reaches your money and your financial details. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Acorns password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in settings
- Sign in to the Acorns app or at acorns.com.
- Open your profile or Settings, then the security section.
- Select change password.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Because Acorns is linked to your bank and investments, give it a long password you use nowhere else.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter your email. Acorns sends a reset link and asks you to verify your identity. Keep the email account itself secure, since whoever controls it can reset their way into your investments.
Two-factor protects your money
For an investing account, a password alone is not enough. Turn on two-factor authentication, and prefer an authenticator app over text messages where you can. Be alert to phishing: emails or texts about a “locked account,” a “withdrawal you did not make” or “verify your bank,” pushing you to log in through a link, are how these accounts get stolen. Open the app yourself rather than tapping links.
An app that touches your bank account deserves your strongest lock. A unique password and app-based two-factor authentication are the baseline when your savings are involved, not an optional extra.
Secure it with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Acorns with our password generator and store it in a password manager. With app-based two-factor authentication, a secured email and the habit of never logging in through links, your invested money and linked bank stay protected.
