Backcountry is a go-to for outdoor and ski gear, and your account ties together your orders, your rewards and a saved card — with single purchases that can run high. Stored payment and rewards make the account worth protecting. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Backcountry password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at backcountry.com or in the Backcountry app.
- Open your account, then account settings or profile.
- Select the option to change password.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Use a long password you do not reuse anywhere else, so a leak on another site cannot open your Backcountry account and your saved card.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Backcountry sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Backcountry login as well.
Protect your rewards and saved card
Rewards and a saved card are exactly what a thief wants, since both convert to free gear or fraudulent orders on a high-value account. Turn on any two-step verification Backcountry offers, and watch for phishing: emails about a “rewards balance,” an “exclusive deal,” or an “order problem,” all pushing you to log in through a link, are common bait. Open the app or type the address yourself, and check your real rewards and orders there rather than trusting an alert in a message.
On a high-value gear account, a saved card and rewards are worth a thief’s effort. A “claim your exclusive deal” email is usually fishing for the login that lets them use both.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Backcountry with our password generator and keep it in a password manager. With two-step verification and the habit of never logging in through email links, your orders, rewards and saved card stay protected.
