How to Change Your Michaels Password and Secure Your Account

How to change a Michaels password

Michaels keeps your orders, your rewards, coupons and a saved card behind one craft-store account, and those loyalty perks add up for regular shoppers. Stored payment and rewards make it worth protecting. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Michaels password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.

Changing and securing a Michaels account.

Change your password in account settings

  1. Sign in at michaels.com or in the Michaels app.
  2. Open your account, then account settings or profile.
  3. Select the option to change password.
  4. 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 Michaels account and your saved card.

Reset a forgotten password

On the sign-in screen choose Forgot password? and enter the email on your account. Michaels sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because whoever controls it can reset your Michaels login as well.

Protect your rewards and offers

Loyalty rewards and a saved card are exactly what a thief wants, since both convert to free products. Turn on any two-step verification Michaels offers, and watch for phishing: emails about an “exclusive coupon,” a “rewards balance,” 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.

A “claim your exclusive coupon” email is a cheap lure for a valuable thing: the login to your rewards and saved card. Open the app yourself, and the bait has nothing to catch.

Lock it down with a generated password

Create a long, random password for Michaels 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.
